Superb to have Minister Ng here in NZ, meeting PM @chrisluxonmp, DPM & Foreign Minister @NewZealandMFA, Defence Minister @JudithCollinsMP & the @asianewzealand team. Singapore & NZ commemorate 60 years of dip relations this year. A great milestone for an important partnership✨️

This evening, we were joined by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and chair of the adviser network, @winstonpeters. It was a great opportunity to introduce our advisers to representatives of some of New Zealand’s leading businesses and institutions. 🤝 @Tim_McCready , a member of the Foundation's Leadership Network, shared his inspiring journey as a young leader engaging with Asia. 👏

Next week, I’ll be travelling to India with a senior business delegation. Strengthening New Zealand’s relationship with India is a key priority for my Government. India is the fifth largest economy in the world and I am focused on increasing trade and business opportunities between our two countries and promoting New Zealand as an investment destination. Trade is a key part of our plan to grow the economy to reduce the cost of living and create more jobs and higher incomes for all New Zealanders.

New Zealand PM @chrisluxonmp will be on five-day visit to India from March 16. External Affairs Ministry says in a statement that during the visit, Prime Minister Luxon will hold talks with Prime Minister @narendramodi, covering various aspects of India-New Zealand relations. #India🇮🇳 #NewZealand🇳🇿 File Photo

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

@dbseymour Completely agree with that

If someone can’t be bothered to spend 10 minutes completing the Census, they shouldn’t be eligible for government benefits. I predict this will get Census completion rates near to 100% overnight.

@BhavDhillonnz Welcome back!
