Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is due to make his first official visit to New Zealand. 

His arrival comes amid controversial comments from foreign minister Winston Peters, who says that Indians will be facing unfairly tough immigration laws upon arrival to New Zealand

Senior political correspondent Barry Soper told Heather du Plessis-Allan that you would normally expect the foreign minister to greet an arriving Prime Minister, but Peters is abroad for the visit. 

'He arrives back in the country the day after Modi leaves. he's in Japan quite conveniently.'
