Prime Minister Christopher Luxon (R) with his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese in Queenstown in 2025.

Anthony Albanese says New Zealand and Australia are more than just neighbours, they're "family" and Christopher Luxon says the relationship should "never be taken for granted".

The Australian and New Zealand prime ministers met on Friday night in Noosa ahead of the annual leader's meeting taking place on Saturday.

Albanese discussed advancing the economic relationship between the two countries, in order to make it "seamless".
