Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern kept her discussions with former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton close to her chest, but revealed today during a press conference the Kiwi-themed gifts they exchanged.
The pair had an hour-long breakfast meeting this morning, prior to Ms Clinton speaking at 'An Evening with Hillary Rodham Clinton' at Spark Arena this evening.
Ms Ardern said she was "unlikely to go into the detail of the conversation", however, they "had a good discussion which included some domestic policy here in New Zealand, the future of work for instance, geo-political environment, and also being a mum in the political frame".
They exchanged gifts, with Ms Clinton giving Ms Ardern "a gift she was told every New Zealand child needed to have" - a buzzy-bee.
Ms Ardern gave Ms Clinton children's books for her to read to her grandchildren, including Hairy Maclary From Donaldson's Dairy and A Summery Saturday Morning, by New Zealand authors Lynley Dodd and Margaret Mahy respectively.
