## Resource

New Zealand and India just unlocked a major strategic partnership, with PM Luxon and PM Modi setting the stage for deep collaboration across trade, defense, education, and tourism — including the first Indian PM visit to NZ in 40 years. Their new Free Trade Agreement slashes tariffs on 95% of Kiwi exports, with half hitting zero immediately, opening India’s 1.4 billion market to New Zealand businesses. Defense and maritime security are also front and center, with joint force arrangements and annual talks to secure the Indo-Pacific. The ambitious 2030 Roadmap aims to double two-way trade to $7 billion, backed by commitments in science, tech, disaster response, and more — proving this isn’t just a handshake, it’s a blueprint for a stronger, more connected future.
