New Zealand Prime Minister John Key met his Australian counterpart Kevin Rudd in Lima on Friday for the first time since winning government earlier this month.
The meeting took place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum informal leaders meeting in Lima, the capital of Peru. Both leaders pledged to continue the strong relationship between the trans-Tasman neighbors.
Key said they planned to discuss the close economic relationship between them, but ruled out a short- to medium-term prospect of New Zealand adopting the Australian currency as part of a monetary union, the Newstalk ZB radio reported on Saturday.
Rudd said it is going to be a good partnership and the interests of the two countries coincide practically everywhere around the world.
