Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, visited Auckland to meet with Prime Minister Chris Luxon yesterday.

The two exchanged warm words, attended a business conference together, and agreed to elevate the countries' relationship to that of a strategic partnership.

With Auckland being the economic-hub for international businesses here, and the Government's Auckland Deal to consult with the Mayor on significant plans, what conversations has the Mayor Wayne Brown?

Wayne Brown unpacks what's he looking to get from this for the City, and if Auckland has to capacity to help the Strategic Partnership reach its targets.

Yesterday's Strategic Partnership with India means we've elevated our relationship to more than just a bilateral affair.

We've set out a goal to double two-way trade by 2030, expressed interest in other sectors like tourism, farming, and sport, and agreed to increase our maritime cooperation with India's Defence Force.

With tensions already lurking in the Indo-Pacific with China, and global volatility feeling like it could come from just one wrong-move, how does the partnership with India actually change our geopolitical profile?

Canterbury University Professor Anne Marie-Bradydiscusses the caveats and potential concerns of this agreement.

The National Party has just announced it's trade policy, should the party be re-elected in November. 

They've said that the aim is to secure markets with seven new economies across Europe, Africa and South America, with more to be chased further down the line. 

Trade Minister Todd McClay told Tim Beveridge that it's important to expand trade, as the target countries in Europe especially are 'particularly wealthy nations'.
