Foreign Minister Winston Peters has appeared to correct the Prime Minister for taking credit on a trade deal.

Chris Luxon has confirmed New Zealand is one of a handful of nations that now has a comprehensive strategic partnership with ASEAN - and posted that he made a deal with Southeast Asian nations.

In a since-deleted tweet, Peters corrected Luxon with one word - 'we'.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper speculated on why Peters deleted the comment.
