SYDNEY, July 3 (Reuters) - New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said on Friday that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will make his first official visit to New Zealand next week.
The two nations signed a free trade agreement in April that will eliminate 95% of tariffs on goods from New Zealand.
"Prime Minister Modi's visit is historic, with this being the first to New Zealand by an Indian PrimeMinister in 40 years," Luxon said in a statement.
Modi will arrive in Auckland on July 10, departing a day later.
