Winston Peters has criticised the India–New Zealand free trade agreement, calling it “neither free nor fair”. He said his party, New Zealand First, will oppose the deal in Parliament. Peters said the pact excludes key dairy products such as milk, cheese and butter, despite dairy being a major export. He added that New Zealand would open its market to Indian goods without similar access for dairy exports. Peters also raised concerns over immigration concessions linked to the deal. He said he conveyed his party’s position to S Jaishankar. (PC: NDTV)
