An economic relationship between India and New Zealand must go beyond the traditional model – New Zealand - India business leaders, suggest a new approach

Be bold, develop partnerships, and look for opportunities beyond the traditional trade model – this was the central theme that emerged at the first-ever hybrid summit organised by the India New Zealand Business Council (INZBC) on June 23 – 24, 2021 at Trusts Arena in Henderson, Auckland.
Held for first-time in a physical venue on Day 1 as well as broadcasted virtually for a global audience on both the days, the Summit brought together a line-up of diplomats, business leaders, government and industry bodies, experts and academics from New Zealand and India, to discuss the various issues of diplomacy & trade that affect this new world order.

Spread over two days and four engaging sessions, the Summit examined New Zealand and India’s position on the Indo-Pacific, Globalisation, trade and investments.

The ambitious theme undertaken by the India New Zealand Business Council Summit 2021 to foray into the "decade of new normal" was so apt that it was tested the very first day of the summit when Wellington was moved into Alert level 2 forcing physical absence of the Keynote speaker Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Nanaia Mahuta along with many other Members of Parliament.

India is a leader on several fronts and the world should learn to respect and emulate its versatility for universal progress, a Minister of the Crown has said.
Minister of State for Trade and Export Growth Phil Twyford described India as a ‘country that has so much going on in areas like technology, entertainment, sport, politics and business.’
“All of these and more as the world’s largest democracy and New Zealand’s relationship reflects all these factors and more,” he said, speaking at the Annual Summit of the India New Zealand Business Council (INZBC) on June 24, 2021.
