New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern is leading a trade mission to the United States this week as part of the government’s reconnection strategy to support export growth and the return of tourists in the post-COVID-19 era.
The business delegation will promote trade and tourism opportunities in New Zealand’s third largest export and visitor market, according to an official statement. Ardern will also deliver a commencement address at Harvard University during her visit this week.
