New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to New Zealand.
The invitation came while attending the World Sadbhavna event in Auckland as part of the Kiwi during the Indian Hall of Fame Awards co-hosted by the NID Foundation and Indian Her Weekender.
At the event, Foreign Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar also introduced two of his books based on Prime Minister Modi’s governance model and ‘Successful Governance’. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said in her important guest address:
There are many similarities between the two countries, he said, adding that ties between the two countries are growing and there is great potential for common partners in the coming period.
Two countries serious about their democratic traditions: Ardern
At Prime Minister Modi’s invitation, he said: “In an increasingly unstable world, New Zealand and India have much in common. Our two countries cherish our democratic traditions and have a peaceful and prosperous Indo-Pacific region.
“We share our concerns about climate change and respect different cultures and traditions.
Prime Minister India Ardhan discussed further opportunities for partnership between the two countries with Foreign Minister Jaishankar, stating: “I can say that the relationship between our two countries comes first. Despite the global challenges, trade between our two countries continues and I see great potential for future growth.”
The Indians started living here in the 1890s and are now New Zealand’s largest ethnic community. This is our population. No wonder Hindi is New Zealand’s fifth most spoken language. The contribution of Indians to the progress of New Zealand has been remarkable,” he said.
Adding that a commemorative stamp was also issued by the New Zealand Post with Minister Jaishankar to mark India’s 75th anniversary of independence.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs said: To make India a truly global hub for education and enable digital transformation across the country, the Prime Minister has taken countless initiatives to transform India into a true superpower. ”
Dr. S. Jaishankar said at the conference: Under Modi’s leadership, India has grown into a superpower over the past eight years.
His leadership has put us in a strong position, showing that other developing countries and crisis issues alike respect India,” added Dr. Jaishankar.
“Indians living abroad believe that this Narendra Modi government will support them. In every situation, the Prime Minister has always ensured that he intervenes and monitors the condition.
This is reflected in Operation Rahat, which evacuated more than 4,600 Indians from Yemen, and Operation Ganga, which evacuated more than 20,000 students from war-torn Ukraine. Love and respect for the Indian diaspora are an essential part of India’s foreign policy today.
During his overseas visits, the Prime Minister always makes time to meet the Indian diaspora living in this country, despite his tight schedule,” he said.
The contribution of Indians to the progress of New Zealand has been remarkable,” he said, adding that a commemorative stamp was also issued by the New Zealand Post with Minister Jaishankar to mark India’s 75th anniversary of independence.
