From Checkpoint, 5:39 pm on 20 June 2022

The Prime Minister is preparing for a another trip to drum up trade and tourism for New Zealand - this time to Europe. Jacinda Ardern leaves this weekend with a business delegation.

In the past few months she's gone to Singapore and Japan, and more recently the United States. In Europe the focus will be on pushing along the EU free trade deal - that's already been years in the making.

She describes it as being in the "closing stages".
