‘Got a big role to play together’: New Zealand seeks to ‘deepen’ ties with Australia

NZ Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has discussed New Zealand’s relationship with Australia. “We got strong people-to-people ties, we’ve got certainly great economic connections ... we’ve obviously got security and defence interests that are aligned, and we’ve got a big role to play together in the Pacific,” he told Sky News Australia. “Look, it’s a pretty cool relationship, and it’s one that I just want to make sure we continue to deepen.”
