This week is seeing New Zealand’s highest-ranking politicians walking a tricky diplomatic tightrope.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has been courting his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi to kickstart trade deal discussions – but their meeting took a twist when Modi raised concerns about ‘anti-Indian activity’ in New Zealand.

Around the same time, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Winston Peters has been in Washington for his first face to face talks with the second Trump administration.

Those come at a time when the US is causing upset in Europe with its stance on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

So, how should New Zealand handle these new diplomatic relationships? And can we apply any of our tactics from our relationship with China?

Today on The Front Page, Al Gillespie is with us to look at our changing world.
