India has a significant role to play in the Indo-Pacific as its size and geo-strategic heft is crucial in an increasingly multi-polar world, New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said on Monday

New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon hailed the contribution of the Indian community in New Zealand for their contribution to the country while highlighting the areas where the 'Indian-Kiwis' have made a mark.

Following talks between PM Modi and PM Luxon, the two sides signed six agreements to ramp up cooperation in several areas including education, sports, agriculture and climate change, and decided to prepare a roadmap for cooperation in the defence industry sector.
