Two giant kiwifruit swaying to a solemn violin score have stolen the show at an event for New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who touched down in Japan on Thursday.The clip of the two kiwifruit 'mascots', one golden and one green, dancing in a room full of men in suits drew widespread attention on social media, with one video receiving three million views.
It was not the first time Ms Arden met the anthropomorphic kiwifruit, with a photo resurfacing on Twitter of the leader holding their hands in 2019. The trip to Japan was the first foreign trip for the prime minister in more than two years, with the leader seeking to strengthen business and tourism ties with the country after pandemic-induced border closures.
