New Zealand PM Christopher Luxon to Visit India for Trade and Security Talks

Luxon's first official visit to India will focus on strengthening economic ties and Indo-Pacific security cooperation.

New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon will visit India from March 16-20, marking his first official trip to the country since taking office in 2023.
Luxon aims to advance bilateral trade, including efforts to restart stalled free trade agreement negotiations, and address India's concerns over New Zealand's dairy exports.
The visit will include meetings with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Droupadi Murmu, and Indian business leaders in Mumbai to bolster economic collaboration.
Luxon will deliver the keynote address at the Raisina Dialogue, becoming the first non-European leader to do so at India's flagship geopolitical conference.
Discussions will also focus on enhancing security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region amidst growing geopolitical uncertainties.
