During the Auckland visit, Modi and New Zealand counterpart Luxon set a formal target to double bilateral trade to NZ$7 billion (about $4.2 billion) by 2030.
The article highlights that PM Modi's visit produced 18 outcomes, including 10 agreements and memorandums of understanding, that go well beyond trade.
The centre piece, the 'Roadmap to 2030', sets a four-year framework for cooperation across defence, trade, maritime security, tourism, agriculture, sports, scientific research, people-to-people exchanges and multilateral engagement.
Defence and maritime security dominated the agenda.
India and New Zealand concluded a Mutual Logistics Support Arrangement enabling the Indian Navy and the New Zealand Defence Force to access each other's facilities for refuelling, replenishment and maintenance during deployments.
