Today, we mark a historic milestone in the relationship between India and New Zealand: the signing of our Free Trade Agreement.

It was only 13 months ago that I travelled to India to meet with Prime Minister Modi and launch Free Trade Agreement negotiations. India is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies, but our trade relationship has only begun to scratch the surface of its potential. Prime Minister Modi and I could see that an FTA would be a massive opportunity for both our two countries.

Since my visit last March, Ministers Piyush Goyal and Todd McClay, and their officials, have worked tirelessly to negotiate a deal. The outcome of that hard work is a deal that delivers for India and for New Zealand. My congratulations to Minister Goyal, Minister McClay and all the negotiators who made this possible.

For New Zealand, this FTA opens the door to one of the world’s most dynamic markets and creates unprecedented opportunities to trade, invest, innovate and connect. This deal will help diversify New Zealand’s export markets, support the goal of doubling the value of our exports over 10 years, and put New Zealand exporters on a more level playing field with competitors already enjoying preferential access in India.

For India, this deal means growth, innovation and new opportunities. It gives Indian exporters tariff-free access to the New Zealand market from day one, and it gives Indian consumers improved access to our high-quality exports. It creates new ways for India to partner with New Zealand on agricultural productivity and benefit from New Zealand’s world-leading agri-tech and food-production expertise.

This agreement matters not just because of what it does economically, but because of what it says strategically. At a time of global uncertainty, this FTA is a clear commitment by both sides to stable, predictable, and rules-based trade.

And the India-New Zealand story is about more than trade. New Zealand and India are building a relationship that is bigger, deeper and more exciting every year – across trade, investment, defence, sport, and innovation.

New Zealand’s vibrant Indian diaspora is central to the strong relationship between our two countries. In Prime Minister Modi’s words, the diaspora is a “living bridge” between New Zealand and India. The contribution of the Indian community to New Zealand is immense: in business, in science, in education, in health, in the arts, in sport, and in communities right across the country.

While today is a big milestone, it is also just the beginning. We are excited about the next chapter in India-New Zealand relations.

Shooting at malls. Shooting at bars. Shooting at schools. Shooting at rallies. Shooting on tourists. Shooting on diners. Shooting on babies. Shooting even at the President despite all the security. Drugs, Guns, and Crimes everywhere.

And other countries are "Hellhole?" Right.

Can a power plant create more fuel than it consumes? Sounds impossible, right? Well, India just did that.

India’s 500 MWe Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has achieved first criticality after decades of work. With this, India became the 2nd country with a commercially operating fast breeder reactor.

Pictures show the total loss of 81-0005, an E-3G “Sentry” Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) Aircraft with the U.S. Air Force’s 552nd Air Control Wing based out of Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, following yesterday’s Iranian ballistic missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The strike appears to have purposefully targeted the most important part of the E-3, that being rear of the aircraft which holds its rotating radar dome, containing several sensitive instruments including antennas for the E-3’s AN/APY-2 Surveillance Radar System.

🇫🇷 France confirms oil crisis, says 30-40% Gulf energy infrastructure destroyed.

France's Finance Minister Roland Lescure revealed on Wednesday that between 30 and 40 per cent of Gulf refining capacity has been damaged or destroyed by Iran's retaliatory strikes, leaving a shortage of 11 million barrels a day on global oil markets.

[Hardeep Singh Puri @HardeepSPuri]

The global situation remains in flux, and we are closely monitoring developments across energy, supply chains, and essential commodities on a real-time basis.

Under the leadership of Hon’ble PM @narendramodi Ji, all necessary steps are being taken to ensure uninterrupted availability of fuel, energy, and other critical supplies for our citizens. We are fully prepared to handle emerging challenges.

India has consistently demonstrated resilience in the face of global uncertainties, and we will continue to act in a timely, proactive, and coordinated manner.

Rumours of a lockdown in India are completely false. Let me state this clearly, there is no such proposal under consideration by the Government of India.

In such times, it is important that we remain calm, responsible, and united.

Attempts to spread rumours and create panic in such a situation are irresponsible and harmful.

वैश्विक स्थिति अभी भी अनिश्चित बनी हुई है, और हम ऊर्जा, सप्लाई चेन और ज़रूरी वस्तुओं से जुड़े हालात पर लगातार नज़र बनाए हुए हैं।

माननीय प्रधानमंत्री जी के नेतृत्व में सरकार यह सुनिश्चित कर रही है कि देश में ईंधन, ऊर्जा और अन्य आवश्यक चीज़ों की आपूर्ति बिना किसी रुकावट के जारी रहे। हर संभावित चुनौती से निपटने के लिए हम पूरी तरह तैयार हैं।

भारत ने पहले भी वैश्विक अनिश्चितताओं के बीच अपनी मज़बूती दिखाई है, और आगे भी हम समय पर, सक्रिय और समन्वित तरीके से कदम उठाते रहेंगे।

लॉकडाउन को लेकर फैल रही अफवाहें पूरी तरह गलत हैं। मैं स्पष्ट करना चाहता हूँ कि सरकार के स्तर पर ऐसा कोई प्रस्ताव विचाराधीन नहीं है।

ऐसे समय में ज़रूरी है कि हम सभी शांत, ज़िम्मेदार और एकजुट रहें।

इस तरह की स्थिति में अफवाह फैलाना और बेवजह डर का माहौल बनाना गैर-जिम्मेदाराना और हानिकारक है।

President Donald Trump just spoke with Prime Minister Modi. They discussed the ongoing situation in the Middle East, including the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.
