New Zealand PM Christopher Luxon and Indian PM Narendra Modi shared a lighthearted cricket joke during their defense meeting in New Delhi. Luxon thanked Modi for not mentioning New Zealand’s loss to India in the 2025 Champions Trophy but jokingly reminded him of the Kiwis’ 3-0 Test series win in India. “Let’s avoid a major diplomatic incident,” Luxon quipped, making Modi burst into laughter. He also praised India’s cricket dominance, calling their Champions Trophy victory “heartbreaking” for New Zealand fans. The moment highlighted the strong ties between the two nations beyond politics and defense cooperation.
