New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said that the New Zealand High Commission in India should have used other channels in order to seek medical assistance rather than requesting the Indian Youth Congress on Twitter to help in providing an oxygen cylinder. In an interview with TVNZ, Ardern also acknowledged the New Zealand High Commission’s apology for the tweet as there are other channels where the officials could have gone to for such matters. However, New Zealand PM said that she should recognise that their local staff member has been “very unwell”. She also pointed out that the High Commission had acknowledged it should have been using “normal channels and protocols.”
