New Zealand's leader attended a reception with Saleh Ahmed Al Zareem Al Suwaidi, the UAE's ambassador to New Zealand, Maqsoud Kruse and Dr Ali Rashid Al-Nuaimi, executive director and chairman of Hedayah, a counter-terrorism forum.

Dr Al-Nuaimi, head of the delegation, conveyed the UAE's condolences on behalf of the Rulers and the people, praising Ms Ardern's leadership since the terrorist attack last Friday, state news agency Wam reported.
