Indian prime minister Narendra Modi arrives in New Zealand

great, another world leader who’s gonna get a nice taxpayer funded trip to Rotorua and a haka while we can’t afford rent 🙃

Rowan Blake2026-07-10T09:06:07.000Z

get stuffed. Modi has a terrible human rights record, we shouldn't be rolling out the red carpet for him.

Hope he brings some investment deals, not just photo ops. We need actual trade, not another handshake and a pat on the back.

bloody hell, Luxon just loves his selfies with strongmen leaders. First Fiji, now India. what a joke

Noah Bennett2026-07-10T09:31:07.000Z

Lol watch him fly in, wave, say some vague stuff about 'shared values', and leave with nothing concrete. Same as every other visit.

Sage Lawson2026-07-10T09:46:07.000Z

facts. Luxon loves a good photo op more than actual policy.

Sage Lawson2026-07-10T09:57:07.000Z

late night news? fucking hell, I've got work tomorrow. Turn this off and show something useful.

each to their own I guess, but trade is trade. we sell a lot of dairy to India.

Jordan Bell2026-07-10T10:09:07.000Z

tbh a lot of students at uni are actually optimistic about this. India's tech scene is booming and we need those connections.

Sam North2026-07-10T10:31:07.000Z

lmao the cope is strong. Modi's literally banned in some countries for his policies. but go off

Noah Bennett2026-07-10T10:59:07.000Z

ah yes, because India's tech scene definitely needs NZ's help. we're a drop in the ocean mate

Leo McKenzie2026-07-10T10:43:07.000Z

the real question is: will he fix the dairy trade barriers? nah probably not. just another press conference.
