1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:00,400
Speaker 1: Right.

2
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 2: PM's back in his hotel in Kuala Lumpa now after

3
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 2: a dinner hosted by the Malaysians. No sign yet of

4
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 2: a meeting with Donald Trump. Of course, there could be

5
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 2: a chance at APEC. He's now done with the Ussian Summit,

6
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 2: that is Trump and he's off to Japan, but Luxon

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 2: remains in in Malaysia for the Asian Summit. Then he

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 2: is off to South Korea for APEC Becausearria, how his

9
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 2: newstalks here by political reporter with him in Kuala Lumpa.

10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: Welcome to the shows.

11
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: Aaria, Thanks so much, good to be with you.

12
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: So any sign of the big Man ye? Any sign

13
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 2: of Donald Trump for his modicaide Yeah, no.

14
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: Sort of sign of Donald Trump in terms of what

15
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: I've seen. I mean, he was in the area, but

16
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: he since actually left. So Donald Trump now in Japan

17
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: a meeting with their new leader. Trump did not meet

18
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: with Chris Luxon, but the two paths do cross again

19
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: in just a few days at APEX in South Korea.

20
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: There's no word though if there will be a meeting,

21
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: but there was a press conference from PM Chris Lue

22
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: and he said they may meet, they may not, but

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: admitted though that it was unlikely we will see any

24
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: sort of reprieve from those US tariffs. I mean, in

25
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: terms of the wider situation at Asian you can tell

26
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: there's something big going on. I mean, there's motorcades as

27
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: far as the eye could see, there's so much security

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: and police in the area. But in terms of actually

29
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: any sign of Donald Trump, haven't actually seen him and

30
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: he's gone off to Japan now, but maybe South Korea

31
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: will be the place to catch a glimpse of him.

32
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: This gala dinner that was hosted by the late Malaysian

33
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: PM tonight, what came with that much?

34
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Luxon finished the day with that gala dinner

35
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: that was put on by the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

36
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: It also came with some performances, cultural performances, speeches and

37
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: orchestra as well, but media were not invited to go

38
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: to that one. But it did sort of put an

39
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: end to what had been a massive political day for

40
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: really a lot of world leaders. I mean, Luxen met

41
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: with a number of world leaders in Malaysia for the

42
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: Asian Summit, bilateral meetings with people like the Prime Minister

43
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: of Vietnam, the PM of Cambodia, Lao Thailand as well.

44
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: And also interestingly, Chris Luson actually met with India's Minister

45
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: of External Affairs. Now that's a really important meeting for

46
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: the government. New Zealand's really been pushing for that free

47
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: trade agreement with India, so it is important that they've

48
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 1: managed to get that meeting as well. But in terms

49
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: of that gala, I think it's more about celebrating Asian

50
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: and bringing together all of these sorts of cultures as well. Also,

51
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: there will be today later today in Asian New Zealand

52
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: leaders gala lunch and that comes with a kapahaka performance.

53
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: Chris Luxan last night obviously treated to those cultural performances

54
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: at that gala. This is a chance really to show

55
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: what New Zealand has to offer. So it will be

56
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: quite interesting to watch that one.

57
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: Azari, I've been to these things before. You've been to

58
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: these things before. You know, it's all about the size

59
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: of the motorcade. How big was Chris Luxeon's. Because I

60
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: saw he was greeted by the Minister of Youth or

61
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: something Ran. I mean, it's almost like being greeted by

62
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: the mayor when you arrive.

63
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: He was greeted by the Minister of Youth. Yes, that's correct,

64
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: and I mean some people did make those comparisons between

65
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: Chris Luxon's arrival and Donald Trump's arrival. There was no

66
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: sort of dancing from Chris Luxon, no people waving flags,

67
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: but it was still he did still get a guard

68
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: of honor and a mot cat as well, so it

69
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: wasn't like it was, you know, completely nothing. But yes, sir,

70
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: Donald Trump really taking the headlines in terms of us

71
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,279
Speaker 1: and he's already left.

72
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: He's gone, he's out the building. All right, Well, we'll

73
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: look forward to your next update. A Zaria, thanks very much.
