The Prime Minister of New Zealand, John Key, will visit Australia from 19 to 21 June as a guest of the Australian Government.
During the visit Prime Minister Key will become the first New Zealand Prime Minister to address the Australian Parliament.
Ms Gillard became the first Australian Prime Minister to address the New Zealand Parliament earlier this year.
Prime Minister Key will hold formal meetings with Ms Gillard and other members of the Cabinet.
Australia's relations with New Zealand are the closest and most comprehensive we have with any country. The relationship is built on a firm foundation of strong government, business and people-to-people links and shared values and history. Prime Minister Key's visit will provide an opportunity to further strengthen and energise the trans-Tasman relationship.
