New Zealand and India bookend the Indo-Pacific, but distance is no barrier to us working together to grow our economies.
That’s what we’re doing through our free trade agreement, which will eliminate tariffs on 57% of everything we sell to India on day one.
At the India-New Zealand business event in Auckland, which I attended with PM Luxon, I told business leaders:
India is not only a market.
India is a launchpad for global growth.
Together, let us take this economic partnership to new heights!

I’m delighted to announce Indian Prime Minister @narendramodi will make his first official visit to New Zealand next week.
India is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies, and a country of enormous importance to New Zealand’s economic prosperity.
We are taking the two countries’ relationship to the next level with our New Zealand-India Free Trade Agreement, signed in April, which will deliver more jobs, higher exports and stronger economic growth for New Zealand.
This will unlock new opportunities to grow our goods and services exports into a market of 1.4 billion people – bringing more money into Kiwi communities, creating jobs and lifting wages.
India’s Nationalist leader Narendra Modi will visit New Zealand on Friday 10 - Saturday 11 July. It is the first visit of an Indian prime minister to New Zealand in 40 years.
Prime Minister Luxon said: "This visit is about celebrating a winning partnership between New Zealand and India - one that delivers for our people and supports greater prosperity and security for both our countries”.

@Apple slowing down the old devices. It’s a coincidence that my iPhone 7 started to slow down drastically few weeks before iPhone 15 launch. Replaced my iPhone battery few months back. I smell dirty games by #Apple again to increase iPhone 15 sales @tim_cook#iPhone15
Kerala is the land of secularism, there are no communal tensions here unlike in some states. Parliament is a secular place, but certain people are trying to make it religious. They're trying to destroy secularism in the country. During the freedom struggle, everybody came together and fought as one. Those who tried to sabotage the freedom struggle then are the ones who are ruling the country now: Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan at an event in Thiruvananthapuram
It was unfortunate that a strictly internal letter to the CEA was leaked to the media. I hope this clarification by @SalmanSoz ends an unnecessary controversy. This election was meant to strengthen @INCIndia, not to divide it. Let's move on.
