Attempts by some countries to interfere with New Zealand's democracy, economy and civil society 'are persistent', according to New Zealand Security Intelligence Service's (NZSIS) annual report.

The report said it had identified increasingly aggressive activity from individuals seen as conducting intelligence and associated with a "small number of foreign states" that it did not name. During that period, NZSIS said it had investigated New Zealand-based people cultivating locals for intelligence purposes, collecting intelligence against the government, targeting New Zealanders with access to sensitive information, and interfering in the country's politics, private sector, and civil society.
