Christopher Luxon is set to meet the UK’s new Prime Minister next week.
He said in a media standup earlier today that he would work with “every leader the partner countries deliver” and was confident he would have a good relationship with whoever won the election.
Labour’s Keir Starmer has won the election by a landslide, the party having taken over 360 seats.
ZB Senior Political Correspondent Barry Soper told Heather du Plessis-Allan that he has a busy first month, with diplomatic meetings with various world leaders in store.
“For the first time now in 14 years, we’re going to see a change in government. Let's only hope that the Labour Party is better than the one that we saw here.”
