Modi's left New Zealand for India, closing out a run through Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand. Auckland gave him a traditional Maori welcome at Government House, followed by a community event at Spark Arena that drew over 10,000 members of the Indian diaspora.
He and Luxon signed off on an "India-New Zealand Strategic Partnership: Roadmap to 2030." Referring to the 40-year gap since the last Indian PM visit, Modi told the crowd the next one "would not take so long."
