Christopher Luxon and the Indian Prime Minister have agreed on several priorities while in a private meeting yesterday, including on security.  

Luxon is leading a delegation in India this week and announced negotiations for a free trade agreement will kick off next month. 

The Herald's Adam Pearse is with Luxon and Narendra Modi, and told Andrew Dickens it's been a very cordial meeting. 

He says the pair have been getting along well, and are spending quite a bit of time together, taking part in things Modi wouldn't normally take part in.
