New Zealand PM Luxon to visit China and EU for trade and security talks

New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon will travel to China and Europe later this month for high-level talks focused on trade, investment, and regional security. It will mark his first official visit to China as prime minister.

Luxon is scheduled to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, senior EU officials, and attend the NATO summit as part of a broader effort to strengthen New Zealand’s diplomatic and economic relationships. The trip will spotlight the $23 billion trade relationship with China, with tourism and international education also expected to feature prominently in discussions.

In Europe, Luxon will seek to deepen Indo-Pacific security cooperation and reaffirm New Zealand’s commitment to global multilateralism amid growing geopolitical tensions.
