The government has confirmed India's Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will visit New Zealand next week.
He will arrive in Auckland on Friday 10 July, and depart the following day.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said the visit - Modi's first, and the first visit of an Indian prime minister to New Zealand in 40 years - was "historic".
"This visit is about celebrating a winning partnership between New Zealand and India - one that delivers for our people and supports greater prosperity and security for both our countries," Luxon said.
"We are taking the two countries' relationship to the next level with our New Zealand-India Free Trade Agreement, signed in April, which will deliver more jobs, higher exports and stronger economic growth for New Zealand."
Shri Narendra Modi has led India since 2014.

Explainer:
One of the world's most powerful leaders is coming to New Zealand this weekend.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is making his first official visit to Auckland on the heels of New Zealand signing a
free trade agreement
with India.
Here's what you need to know about Modi and his visit.
Who is he?
Modi, 75, has been the prime minister of India since 2014, leading an estimated 1.43 billion people in the world's most populous country.
He's the third-longest serving leader in the country's history and heads the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
In 2024, he won a historic third term but his party
lost an outright majority
and needed coalition partners to form a government.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has called Modi's visit "historic," and India "a country of enormous importance to New Zealand's prosperity".
He'll be the first Indian prime minister to visit New Zealand since Rajiv Gandhi in October 1986. His mother, Prime Minister In…

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit New Zealand next week, marking the first official visit from an Indian prime minister in 40 years.
New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said the visit reflected the growing relationship between the two countries, following the signing of the NZ-India
Free Trade Agreement
earlier this year.
The agreement would aim to reduce or eliminate tariffs on 95% of New Zealand exports to India once fully implemented, Luxon said, with 57% becoming tariff free immediately.
"India is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies, and a country of enormous importance to New Zealand’s prosperity," Luxon said.
The two leaders are expected to discuss trade and investment, maritime security, education, technology, tourism, sport and global issues.
