New Delhi: New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has underscored the significant role of the Indian community in New Zealand, acknowledging its contributions across various sectors. Taking to social media, Luxon emphasized India’s importance as a source of skilled migrants and international students, reinforcing the strong ties between the two nations.
"The Indian community is the third-largest ethnic group in New Zealand, India is our largest source of skilled migrants, and our second-largest source of international students. In short, Indian-Kiwis make a massive contribution to New Zealand and I’m proud of what this community does for our country," Luxon tweeted.
