Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit New Zealand on 10 July, 2026, the government has officially announced today.
"The Indian Prime Minister will arrive in Auckland on Friday 10 July and depart on Saturday 11 July."
The community event with PM Modi and New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is expected to take place in Auckland.
“Prime Minister Modi’s visit is historic, with this being the first to New Zealand by an Indian Prime Minister in 40 years,” PM Luxon says.
“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.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, who is attending The Indian Weekender Kiwi Indian Hall of Fame 2026 on 3 July, is expected to share insights into Prime Minister Narendra Modi's upcoming visit, serving as a curtain-raiser to officially welcome him.
Earlier this year, both the New Zealand and Indian governments confirmed preparations were underway for the visit. The two countries signed a landmark trade agreement that will eliminate or reduce tariffs on 95 per cent of New Zealand's exports to India.
Fresh details about the visit had emerged earlier after Trade Minister Todd McClay met his Indian counterpart, Piyush Goyal, on the sidelines of a World Trade Organization ministerial conference in Cameroon, with discussions focusing on trade ties and preparations for Modi's visit.
The visit has generated excitement among community leaders, who have shared their thoughts and expressed their enthusiasm about welcoming the Indian Prime Minister.
