Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and his travelling delegation has touched down in New Delhi, greeted by the heat and a colourful cultural display.
Luxon was first off the Defence Force 757 and met by the High Commissioner and one of the Indian government's junior ministers.
Together they watched a group of traditional folk dancers as blaring music competed with plane noise.
Luxon - and the rest of the delegation - then departed for their accommodation.
The prime minister is in India for a four-day charm offensive to sweeten relations with the eventual hope of securing a free trade deal.
