KUALA LUMPUR -- New Zealand is aiming to double its exports to ASEAN and the broader Indo-Pacific region over the next decade, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon told Nikkei Asia on Tuesday in an exclusive interview.

Luxon said his government is committed to "doubling the value of exports in the next 10 years," with a strong focus on bolstering trade ties with the 10-country Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the wider Indo-Pacific region.
