Dr Geoffrey Miller: geopolitical analyst on Luxon and Modi signing a Strategic Partnership during Indian PM's visit

from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB

A word of caution as New Zealand forges closer defence ties with India.  Prime Minister Chris Luxon's signed a Strategic Partnership with Narendra Modi - during the Indian Prime Minister's whirlwind visit.  He's also agreed to strengthen maritime cooperation and carry out more bilateral naval activity.  Geopolitical analyst Geoffrey Miller says the relationship's come a long way in a short space of time - but we need to be careful we're not moving too fast.  "It is positive to broaden the relationship from trade, I just think New Zealand needs to be careful in what it is signing up to, because it has the potential to impact on international relations more generally."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
