On Wednesday, New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said, Wellington will fully reopen its international borders from July 31; it will also allow cruise ships to dock at its port from then on.

The opening of international borders at the end of July, is two months earlier than the government’s previous time frame.

During a speech at a Business NZ lunch in Auckland Ardern said, opening the borders would help to relieve urgent skills shortages, open up tourism and put immigration settings on a more secure footing.

“We are building on our proven plan to secure New Zealand’s economic future,” said Ardern.
