Port Moresby: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday held bilateral talks with New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins, during which they discussed enhancing ties in trade and commerce, education, sports and people-to-people.

The MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said: “Giving fresh impetus to India-New Zealand relationship."

“PM @narendramodi met PM @chrishipkins of New Zealand in Port Moresby," he said.

“The two leaders, in what was their first interaction, discussed expanding cooperation in various sectors including trade & commerce, education, culture, sports and people to people ties," he said.
