India and New Zealand have a responsibility in forging a post-colonial order that will provide prosperity and stability to large parts of the world, said S Jaishankar.
Nations like India and New Zealand have a particular responsibility of forging a post-colonial order that will provide global prosperity and stability, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Thursday, as he discussed pressing issues like the security situation in the Indo-Pacific and the consequences of the Ukraine conflict with his New Zealand counterpart.
Mr Jaishankar, who is in Auckland on his first visit to New Zealand as the External Affairs Minister, held "warm and productive" talks with his New Zealand counterpart Nanaia Mahuta.
"Warm and productive talks with New Zealand Foreign Minister @NanaiaMahuta this afternoon. Two societies, respectful of tradition and culture, are seeking to forge a more contemporary relationship," Mr Jaishankar tweeted after the meeting.
"Appreciated the exchange of views on (issues of) international concerns such as the Indo-Pacific and the Ukraine conflict. Value our working together in multilateral forums including the UN and Commonwealth," he said.
