- New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Wednesday Foreign Minister Winston Peters will travel to Turkey to"confront" comments made by Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on the killing of at least 50 people at mosques in Christchurch.
The comments came at a campaign rally that included video footage of the shootings which the alleged gunman had broadcast on Facebook."Our deputy prime minister will be confronting those comments in Turkey," Ardern told reporters in Christchurch."He is going there to set the record straight, face-to-face."
Meanwhile, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he summoned Turkey's ambassador for a meeting, during which he demanded Erdogan's comments be removed from Turkey's state broadcaster. Morrison said Canberra is also reconsidering its travel advice for Australians planning trips to Turkey.
