Did Christopher Luxon deliver on his trip to Southeast Asia?
About this episode
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has spent the last week in South East Asia.
His first overseas trip beyond the Tasman Sea saw Luxon visit Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines, joined by several MPs and a delegation of business leaders for a trip largely focused on “reinvigorating” New Zealand’s relationships across Southeast Asia.
So did he make much of a splash there, and does he have any wins to bring back home?
NZME Managing Business Editor and managing director of NZ Inc Ltd Fran O’Sullivan has been part of the business delegation, and joins The Front Page from the Philippines for her thoughts on how it’s all gone.
