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.
An important moment for India-New Zealand relations, with a strong push to bilateral trade and investment! My friend PM Christopher Luxon and I had a very good conversation a short while ago following the conclusion of the landmark India-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement. Concluded in just nine months, this historic milestone reflects a strong political will and shared ambition to deepen economic ties between our two countries. This FTA ensures: Enhanced market access Deeper investment flows Numerous opportunities for innovators, entrepreneurs, farmers, MSMEs, students and youth. @chrisluxonmp pib.gov.in/PressReleseDetail…

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.

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. -WP

It's difficult to treat New Zealand as a normal ally within the American alliance system, when they denigrate and punish Israeli citizens for defending themselves and their country from Iranian-controlled terrorists. Hamas didn't just murder Israelis on October 7, but also American citizens, and Israel's push to utterly eradicate Hamas is straightforwardly and deeply in America's national security interests. New Zealand should be cooperating with Israel in its campaign rather than engaging in these self-indulgent leftwing attacks. x.com/haaretzcom/status/1885…
Community note
New Zealand offers Israeli visa-free access to the country, meaning citizens do not need to apply for a visa or declare military service. x.com/NewZealandMFA/…

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