WELLINGTON/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New Zealand Prime Minister Bill English was flying to the mountainous resort city of Queenstown on Tuesday to meet intelligence officials from the "Five Eyes" network, which includes the U.S. FBI, CIA and National Security Agency.
The meetings, designed to facilitate intelligence sharing between the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, are being held at a sensitive time for the Asia-Pacific region as tension between the United States and North Korea escalates.
