A new study is investigating why Fijian New Zealanders are at a higher risk of having heart attacks or developing angina at a young age.

The research is led by the Heart Foundation, which found that people from Fiji experience 20 percent of heart attacks or angina in under-40s in New Zealand - despite making up just under two percent of the country's population.

Several education initiatives were announced during Prime Minister Christopher Luxon's recent trip to India, including the ratification of a refreshed cooperation arrangement between the Ministry of Education and its Indian counterpart.

In the joint statement released after Luxon's meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, education was recognised as a significant part of New Zealand's bilateral relationship with India, which is the country's second-largest source of international students.
