Abstract

Commenting on the official visit of Japanese Prime Minister Ikeda to Wellington in October 1963, the New Zealand Herald editorial writer noted:

In international affairs, trade even more than time seems to act as the great healer. Not so many years ago when the Americans were urging an early peace treaty with Japan, New Zealand regarded the whole proposition with certain doubts and reservations. Today the prime minister of Japan can visit New Zealand as an honoured guest and can discuss with our own prime minister shared interests aspirations and objectives. Trade rather than diplomacy has prompted amity and understanding.1
