WELLINGTON, July 20 (Xinhua) -- Peace activists said Wednesday they will take to the seas to disrupt any United States navy visits to mark the New Zealand navy's 75th anniversary this year.
The warning came as U.S. Vice President Joe Biden touched down in Auckland at the start of a 24-hour visit to New Zealand.
Biden -- the first U.S. vice president to visit New Zealand since 1970 -- is scheduled to hold formal talks with Prime Minister John Key and attend a business and community leaders function.
The Auckland Peace Action (APA) group said it expected Key and Biden to confirm the first visit to New Zealand of a U.S. Navy warship in 32 years to take part in an international fleet review in Auckland in November.
