Visit by New Zealand PM Christopher Luxon - Apr 2024

Prime Minister of New Zealand Christopher Luxon met Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the Istana on 15 April 2024. PM Luxon received an official welcome. PM Lee also hosted an Official Lunch in his honour.

PM Lee and PM Luxon reaffirmed the strong bilateral relations between Singapore and New Zealand, underpinned by the Enhanced Partnership (EP) established in 2019. Both PMs noted the good progress made across the five pillars of the EP, namely Trade and Economics, Defence and Security, People-to-People, Science, Technology and Innovation, and Climate Change and Green Economy.

The Prime Ministers also announced the establishment of a new pillar on “Supply Chains and Connectivity” under the EP. Under the ambit of the sixth pillar, both sides will launch negotiations on an “Agreement on Trade in Essential Supplies” which aims to facilitate trade in essential products and minimise disruptions to such trade even during times of crisis.

Both PMs also welcomed the signing of two MOUs on electronic invoicing and facilitating safe and efficient trade, which will further boost trade links.
