New Zealand PM congratulates new British counterpart

Xinhua, July 14, 2016 Adjust font size:

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key on Thursday congratulated Theresa May on becoming Britain's new prime minister.

"The United Kingdom and New Zealand have a long standing and close relationship. The trade and economic links between our two countries are already strong and we have shared interests in a number of areas, including global defense and security," Key said in a statement.

"I met Theresa May in London last year and I am confident we will be able to work together to strengthen the links between our two countries."

May replaces David Cameron who resigned in the wake of Britain's referendum vote to leave the European Union. Endit
