Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has just wrapped up meetings at the East Asia Summit.

The East Asia Summit consisted of 10 South East Asian countries which form the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, as well as others with interests in the region, including New Zealand.

Jacinda Ardern has stated that New Zealand's purpose in attending was to diversify New Zealand's trade footprint. This has been part of Labour's post- COVID strategy to reconnect with the world.

Fran O'Sullivan, NZME business commentator explained what Jacinda Ardern accomplished in terms of trade discussion, and what can be expected from APEC later in the week.
