Statecraft With Geeta Mohan: Trade, Khalistan & Security: PM Modi's New Zealand Visit Explained

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's historic visit to New Zealand marks the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister in nearly four decades, signalling a new chapter in bilateral ties. At the centre of the visit are talks with New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon on implementing the landmark India–New Zealand Free Trade Agreement, boosting trade, investment, technology, education and Indo-Pacific cooperation. However, trade is only part of the agenda. India is also expected to raise concerns over Khalistan-linked activities, including the activities of Sikhs for Justice, in discussions with New Zealand officials. While Wellington has emphasised freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, New Delhi is likely to reiterate its concerns over activities it views as linked to separatism and threats to Indian diplomatic interests. Maritime security, resilient supply chains, cybersecurity and the growing Indian diaspora are also expected to feature prominently. Will the two countries find common ground on security concerns while expanding economic cooperation? Could this visit redefine India–New Zealand relations and strengthen their strategic partnership in the Indo-Pacific? Watch this detailed analysis as we break down the key issues, the geopolitical significance of the visit and what it means for India, New Zealand and the wider region. #PMModi #NewZealand #IndiaNewZealand #ChristopherLuxon #Khalistan #IndiaNewZealandFTA #IndoPacific #ModiVisit #WorldNews #Geopolitics #IndianDiaspora #Trade #MaritimeSecurity #IndiaTodayGlobal #BreakingNews India Today Global is the international arm of India's most trusted media organization — delivering factual, up-to-date news, analysis, and insights from India and around the world.
