STORYLINE:

The leaders of Australia and New Zealand on Sunday had their first face-to-face meeting since the coronavirus pandemic prompted the neighboring nations to close their borders.

A Maori welcome ceremony was held for Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison as he arrived in the New Zealand tourist resort of Queenstown.

He greeted his New Zealand counterpart Jacinda Ardern with a traditional Maori hongi, in which the pair pressed noses together.

Morrison is the first major world leader to visit New Zealand since both countries shut their borders last year to contain the virus.

The neighbors opened a quarantine-free travel bubble last month, although a recent outbreak of the virus in Melbourne has prompted New Zealand to suspend that arrangement with Victoria state.

Growing friction with China and how to sustainably reopen the countries' borders are likely to be high on the leaders' agenda.

China has blocked some Australian exports after Australia excluded Chinese telecommunications company Huawei from its 5G phone network and called for an independent investigation into the origins of the coronavirus.

New Zealand has also been outspoken against China on some issues in recent months, but so far it has maintained better relations with Beijing than Australia has.
