Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Thailand Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul have formally launched the New Zealand-Thailand Strategic Partnership in Auckland.<\/p>\n
\u201cPrime Minister Anutin\u2019s visit to New Zealand has set a clear direction for our relationship built over 70 years of friendship, trust and close connections between our people,\u201d Mr Luxon says.<\/p>\n
The leaders discussed their ambition to triple two-way trade to NZ$13.5 billion by 2045. <\/p>\n
\u201cThailand\u2019s scale, manufacturing capability and regional connections create significant opportunities for New Zealand exporters and companies,\u201d Mr Luxon says.<\/p>\n
\u201cUpgrading our trade agreement and strengthening supply-chain resilience will help more New Zealand businesses reach Thailand as a gateway to ASEAN\u2019s market of more than 600 million consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n
The leaders also welcomed Thai Airways\u2019 planned resumption of direct flights in the coming year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThai Airways served Auckland for more than 30 years before the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the service. Its return is great news for tourism and trade – making it easier to connect, restoring an important air-freight link and strengthening connections through Bangkok to wider Asia,\u201d Mr Luxon says.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have agreed to strengthen cooperation on border security, customs, immigration and cyber security, and against scam centres, human trafficking and drug trafficking.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will help keep New Zealanders safer at home and abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n
The leaders issued a Joint Declaration and welcomed the Joint Plan of Action 2026-2030, covering political and security cooperation; trade and innovation; people-to-people links; and regional and multilateral cooperation.<\/p>\n
