Prime Minister Christopher Luxon’s four-day visit to the USA was a valuable opportunity to boost the bilateral relationship at the top level.
The Prime Minister had a brief but warm meeting with President Joe Biden during the NATO Dinner at The White House and met with Members of US Congress from both major political parties as well as senior US officials.
The visit to Washington DC highlighted that New Zealand and the USA have a strong friendship based on shared value as well as shared interests in peace and security in the interests of global prosperity.
In California, the Prime Minister and Governor Gavin Newsom agreed to launch new work on geothermal energy, offshore wind and transport decarbonisation. The visit also highlighted New Zealand’s capabilities on innovation, our fast-developing space industry, and opportunities for US investment.
