A gaffe trashing Kiwi business and a defence force plane breakdown has overshadowed Chris Luxon's most significant travel as New Zealand prime minister.
Mr Luxon has spent the week in Japan, meeting with Prime Minister Kishida Fumio, upgrading defence links, signing an information-sharing agreement and overseeing deals signed by Kiwi business.
However, the trip will be remembered for the near-failure of his delegation to get there, and his own sledge.
