Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has been asked not to make ’unhelpful’ references to New Zealand in his overseas speeches

Luxon struggling to drop the "Labour's mess" mantra.

Using language like “under new management” and “open for business” was not helpful, he said.

Overseas relationships had been built over time by a series of people who should be acknowledged.

“New Zealand has never been closed for business,” he said.

Edit: Shit, wrong thread.
