Before this time, there was no dedicated ministerial portfolio for foreign relations. A <a href="/wiki/Department_of_Island_Territories_(New_Zealand)" class="mw-redirect" title="Department of Island Territories (New Zealand)">Department of External Affairs</a> was created in 1919 but its functions were limited to administering New Zealand's Island Territories in the Pacific; namely the <a href="/wiki/Cook_Islands" title="Cook Islands">Cook Islands</a>, <a href="/wiki/Niue" title="Niue">Niue</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tokelau" title="Tokelau">Tokelau</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/League_of_Nations_Mandate" class="mw-redirect" title="League of Nations Mandate">League of Nations Mandate</a> of <a href="/wiki/Samoa" title="Samoa">Samoa</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-External_Affairs_Bill_1919_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-External_Affairs_Bill_1919-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1943, a new <a href="/wiki/Ministry_of_Foreign_Affairs_and_Trade_(New_Zealand)" title="Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (New Zealand)">Department of External Affairs</a> was created to conduct the country's external relations. The older department was then renamed the <a href="/wiki/Department_of_Island_Territories_(New_Zealand)" class="mw-redirect" title="Department of Island Territories (New Zealand)">Department of Island Territories</a> and a separate portfolio called the <a href="/wiki/Department_of_Island_Territories_(New_Zealand)#List_of_Ministers" class="mw-redirect" title="Department of Island Territories (New Zealand)">Minister of Island Territories</a> was subsequently created.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>From 1943, the Minister of External Affairs became the main ministerial portfolio for conducting New Zealand's external relations.<sup id="cite_ref-Malcolm_Templeton_pp.1-2_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Malcolm_Templeton_pp.1-2-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Like its similarly named <a href="/wiki/Department_of_External_Affairs_(1921%E2%80%9370)" class="mw-redirect" title="Department of External Affairs (1921–70)">Australian</a> and <a href="/wiki/Department_of_Foreign_Affairs,_Trade_and_Development" class="mw-redirect" title="Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development">Canadian counterparts</a>, the portfolio was called "External Affairs" rather than "Foreign Affairs" in deference of the British Government's responsibility for conducting foreign policy on behalf of the <a href="/wiki/British_Empire" title="British Empire">British Empire</a> and later the <a href="/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations" title="Commonwealth of Nations">Commonwealth of Nations</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The title was changed to "Minister of Foreign Affairs" in 1970 after the Department was renamed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The title became "Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade" following the abandonment of the short-lived "Minister of External Relations and Trade" title, created in September 1988 when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs absorbed the Trade functions of the old Department of Trade and Industry. In 2005 responsibility for trade was split into a separate portfolio, with the title reverting to "Minister of Foreign Affairs". </p><p>Historically it has been common for Prime Ministers to take on the role of Foreign Minister themselves, particularly if they have an interest in the field.
