The Prime Minister's shifting his focus from politics to business during the final leg of his trip to Vietnam. 

Luxon is aiming to drum up as much support as possible for Kiwi businesses operating in the Vietnamese market.  

Earlier in the week, he signed a new Comprehensive Strategic Partnership agreement with Vietnam, making New Zealand just one of 10 counties to have such an agreement. 

Newstalk ZB Political Editor Jason Walls told Mike Hosking that Vietnam’s government structure is inextricably linked with the business side of things, and to get anything done on the business side, you need to get things done on the political side. 

He says the consensus within the business delegation is that the agreement will help drive business and get Kiwi businesses into the Vietnamese market.
