Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will meet with New Zealand's Jacinda Ardern in Sydney on Thursday evening.
Australia's new Labor government will be welcoming its first foreign leader to Australian soil. Jacinda Ardern
said it was fitting that she would be the first foreign head of government to meet Albanese since he took office.
“We are partners and allies, and we share a relationship of family,” Albanese said. “Through our single economic market, our people-to-people ties and our shared interests in the region and around the world, Australia and New Zealand stand together.”
During the meeting, the Australian premier said it will be a chance to strengthen cooperation across the Tasman, including economic recovery, climate change, support for the Pacific, and global trade.
Both leaders said the relationship between the two nations is uniquely close and resembles that of a family.
