Prime Ministers Chris Luxon and Anthony Albanese are aiming to deepen our bilateral relationship

The two leaders are in Queenstown for the Annual Australia-New Zealander Leaders' meeting.

Mr Luxon says the partnership between our countries is a "bedrock" in an increasingly fractious world.

Mr Albanese says we're global role models in maintaining strong ties.

He says our economic market is an example of how free-and-fair trade benefits every party involved.
