The elevation of ties to a strategic partnership reflects the growing importance of New Zealand as a key player in India's Indo-Pacific outreach.

The Indo-Pacific region is a key area of concern for India, with China's increasing assertiveness posing challenges to regional stability and security.
In which city did Prime Minister Narendra Modi land during his visit to New Zealand?
Auckland is a key city in New Zealand and the location of Prime Minister Modi's visit, marking an important milestone in India-New Zealand relations.
Consider the following statements regarding PM Modi's Tour: 1. The tour included countries in Europe. 2. India and New Zealand elevated their ties to a strategic partnership during the visit. 3. Auckland was the first stop on PM Modi's three-nation tour. How many of the above statements are correct?
Statement 1 is incorrect because the text mentions that the tour 'largely focused on expanding cooperation in the Indo-Pacific', which suggests it was primarily in the Asia-Pacific region. Statement 2 is correct as per the title of the article. Statement 3 is incorrect because Auckland was mentioned as the destination for the third and final leg of the tour, implying it was not the first stop.
Consider the following two statements: Statement-I: The Indo-Pacific region has seen increased assertiveness from China. Statement-II: This led India to elevate its ties with New Zealand to a strategic partnership during PM Modi's visit. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Statement 1 is correct as it aligns with the context provided in the article. However, Statement 2 is also correct but does not explain why India elevated its ties with New Zealand; rather, it was a consequence of the tour's focus on expanding cooperation in the Indo-Pacific against China's assertiveness.
