“Together, I think Australia and New Zealand acting as one produces an outcome that’s greater than the sum of the two,” Albanese said, as he and his New Zealand counterpart Jacinda Ardern talked about deepening and broadening relations
Looking about as relaxed in each other’s company as two national leaders could be, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his New Zealand counterpart Jacinda Ardern have talked up their determination to deepen and broaden trans-Tasman relations in a world beset by security challenges, energy shocks and the overarching threat of climate change.
NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, with Anthony Albanese on Friday, warmly welcomed the new Australian government’s commitment to stronger climate action.Hosting his first visit by an overseas leader, Albanese said he was intent on taking the relationship to “a new level”, while Ardern framed the visit as an “opportunity for a reset because there were obviously some points of friction”.
“I have said that section 501 … should be maintained,” Albanese said, but “we deal with each other in a mature way which deals as well with common sense”.
