“It is a pleasure and an honour to host you here today,” New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said. Its a really historic event. You and I spoke about last night, the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to New Zealand in 40 years. This visit is also a major milestone in the New Zealand-India relationship. When I was in (India) last year, you received me and my delegation with great warmth and tremendous generosity and I am therefore delighted to welcome you here. “Thank you for the relationship, thank you for what you have personally put into the relationship.”
Luxon: We have come a long way in a short time“I think we have made tremendous progress in a very short period of time on the trade agenda,” he said. "But the focus today is about more than just the FTA, it is about where we go to next in this relationship and how we broaden that out. We are very proud to announce that we will be forming a strategic partnership which will give the relationship more framework and breadth for us to continue to expand as we go forward from here...
