New Zealand PM Christopher Luxon on Wednesday said strengthening people-to-people ties and discussions on labour mobility would be important components of the proposed free trade agreement with India.

He said a huge number of Indian students wanted to come and get educated in New Zealand, particularly as opportunities in America were shut down, and with Canada talking about lowering its immigration.

“This is a country that's creating more opportunities to welcome people,” he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
