@StephenJacobi Really sad news. A really good guy.

This kid, Sam Ruthe, is incredible! So good to have another Kiwi world-beating runner! 🥝🇳🇿

16-year-old Sam Ruthe 🇳🇿 runs a 3:48.88 mile at the BU Terrier Classic in Boston!

He becomes the 11th fastest man to ever run the mile indoors. Wow!

@ParamitaTrpathi @narendramodi @DrSJaishankar @MFATNZ @PiyushGoyal @toddmcclaymp Congratulations your new role, Paramita. And, indeed: what a year!

[Dr. S. Jaishankar @DrSJaishankar]

A landmark in 🇮🇳–🇳🇿 ties

The India-NZ FTA, concluded in record time under the guidance of PM @narendramodi and PM @chrisluxonmp, places our partnership on an accelerated growth trajectory.

It will surely boost trade, investment and economic collaboration across sectors.

With the release of Hurricanes’ 1996 throwbacks today there’s no better time to remember the greatest Super Rugby try ever scored:

Ardie has claimed the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific Player of the Year title after establishing an unassailable lead in voting with two weeks left in the regular season 🥇

[Mark Talbot @MarkTalbot]

@ardiesavea was an absolute man mountain tonight: an inspiration to watch @MoanaPasifika_ stand up under his leadership!

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

The UK and New Zealand stand together to protect our national security, stepping up our defence spending and putting Ukraine in the strongest possible position.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Together with our friends and allies, we will deliver national and economic security for working people.

Great to see you, @ChrisLuxonMP, as our two countries step up our military partnership.

Secure at home. Strong abroad. That's what our Plan for Change will deliver.

[Winston Peters @NewZealandMFA]

This @haaretzcom story is fake news, Senator @TedCruz. We are demanding it be corrected.

Israelis do not need visitor visas to travel to New Zealand, let alone have to declare their military service.

And both New Zealand’s Chief Human Rights Commissioner and I - as Foreign Minister - have made clear that the so-called “genocide hotline” is dangerous, antisemitic nonsense.

New Zealanders are a friendly people - and Israelis are very welcome to visit New Zealand. Many do so under our visitor visa waiver programme.

New Zealand & the United States are long-standing, close partners - and we are looking forward to building that partnership further under the Trump Administration.

@anaisklm @WorldRugby Awesome and much deserved accolade, Anais. What a proud moment!

@JamieWall2 Kirifi deserves the keys to the city.

[Mark Talbot @MarkTalbot]

Would have been available for the All Blacks, but had more important duties with Wellington Lions.

[All Blacks @AllBlacks]

Du’Plessis Kirifi has been named as captain of the All Blacks XV for 2024 🔥
