Welcome to my friend Piyush Goyal and his lovely wife to New Zealand. We are committed to boosting trade and investment between New Zealand and India through a high quality trade agreement.
Great news for Kiwi exporters. 📈
Today is a great day for the future of our economy.
We’ve just signed a trade deal in Abu Dhabi with the UAE government that will eliminate tariffs on 98.5% of our exports to the UAE immediately, growing to 99% within three years.
This is great for Kiwi exporters, whose success drives our economy and lifts incomes at home.

The UK 🇬🇧 is officially a CPTPP Party! Bringing the first acceding Party into the Agreement is a significant achievement. This milestone strengthens our economic ties and opens up new opportunities for trade, investment, and growth in our region and beyond. Now more than a third of New Zealand’s exports go to CPTPP partners and the Agreement’s high standards will continue to promote rules-based trade and drive economic growth in New Zealand and our region.
