Foreign Minister Mahuta in India
New Zealand Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta is in India on a weeklong official visit. This follows the visit of Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanian Jaishankar to New Zealand last year.
Mahuta’s Indian visit will start in New Delhi, where the foreign minister will meet with Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar, External Affairs Minister Jaishankar, and the Indian government’s Tribal Affairs Minister Arjun Munda.
She will also visit Mumbai to advance NZ's interests in trade, tourism, and education in the financial and industrial hub of India.
In order to improve our economic resilience and links with our overseas partners, Nanaia Mahuta remarked, "Reconnecting NZ is a vital objective. The connection between India and Aotearoa NZ is dynamic and active. With more than 240,000 persons of Indian ancestry, we have close interpersonal ties.”
“Aotearoa New Zealand and India have an energetic and vibrant relationship. We share strong people-to-people links with more than 240,000 people of Indian descent calling New Zealand home.
“We also share ambitious goals between our countries and I will be reinforcing our commitment to supporting closer private sector collaboration and improved air services. The visit will also provide an opportunity to progress indigenous engagement, following initial discussions by Minister Whaitiri during her visit last year.
“With a focus on economic recovery and resilience, I will meet with the Chair of the India New Zealand Business Council and host a roundtable with NZTE representatives. These discussions will allow me to underline our strategy for lifting our bilateral commercial and economic ties.
“NZ sees India as a core and influential partner in the Indo-Pacific and we have welcomed their participation in the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework. This framework offers a key vehicle for engaging with India as part of a broader regional agenda.
“Both of our countries value each other’s perspectives on the Pacific region and we will discuss opportunities to work together in climate change and our views on regional security.
“When Minister Jaishankar visited Aotearoa New Zealand last year, we both agreed that the relationship was ready for its next phase. I look forward to building on this momentum and sharing our progress to join the International Solar Alliance, which India and France established in 2015 to promote solar energy cooperation and climate action globally,” Nanaia Mahuta said.
Nanaia Mahuta will to NZ on 12 February.
