New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will meet U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday at the White House, where she said she expects to discuss ongoing U.S. engagement in the Indo-Pacific region.
"Top of mind for us, alongside the situation in Ukraine, is the situation in our region," she told New Zealand media at a press conference in Washington D.C. "We'll be encouraging the United States to really continue and strengthen engagement in our region including economic engagement, which is really critical to our region."
"It's not about annouceables. It’s not about new initiatives. It is actually about that relationship," she said.
