New Zealand 'resets' foreign policy on Indo-Pacific security: PM

TOKYO -- New Zealand is resetting its foreign policy and looking to engage more in security and defense areas in the Indo-Pacific, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said in an interview on Wednesday.

"It's a reset to focus on the Indo-Pacific region because we think that is the region that we have a lot of national interests in," Luxon told Nikkei Asia in Tokyo. Luxon's three-day visit is his first trip to Japan as prime minister, during which he has met his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida.
