New Zealand and the European Union have struck an historic free trade deal, "unlocking access to one of the world's biggest and most lucrative markets" after four years of tough negotiating.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has expressly called out a "more assertive" China during her speech at a summit hosted by NATO, the North Atlantic military alliance regularly criticised by Beijing.

As the leaders' summit in Madrid was underway on Wednesday, China's Ambassador to the United Nations made his country's thoughts on the group very clear, saying it had "sowed the seeds of conflict" in Europe and that "must not be allowed to happen in the Asia-Pacific".
