Chris Luxon's come to the final day on his diplomatic tour of Vietnam, yesterday bringing an end to the more political leg of the journey

But before he flew from Ha Noi to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh had a parting gift.

After wrapping up the formalities in Vietnam's capital the pair stopped in at the temple of literature for a spot of tea, and a performance of Pokarekare ana.

Luxon and his delegation arrived in Ho Chi Minh City last night, ahead of back-to-back business focused engagements today.
