Dr Paul Buchanan: former intelligence and defense policy analyst says Luxon should have represented New Zealand at APEC
from Politics Central · host Newstalk ZB
Experts believe Prime Minister-elect Chris Luxon should've been at the APEC Summit in San Francisco. Days of meetings involving ministers and world leaders were ultimately dominated by a meeting between US president, Joe Biden, and China’s Xi Jinping. Caretaker trade minister Damien O'Connor represented New Zealand at the event, due to a Government not yet being formed. Former intelligence and defence policy analyst Doctor Paul Buchanan, says if not Mr Luxon, it should've been Chris Hipkins heading along. "It was a pity Luxon didn't go, because he had the opportunity to represent continuity in our trade perspective." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
