New Zealand PM Luxon hails India FTA amid coalition partner's criticism

New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon praised the new Free Trade Agreement with India, calling it a landmark achievement that will boost jobs and incomes by opening access to the Indian market. However, the deal has revealed internal coalition divisions, with Foreign Minister Winston Peters criticizing it as 'neither free nor fair' and expressing reservations. The agreement, announced after talks between Luxon and Indian PM Modi, aims to double bilateral trade within five years and attract significant investment.
