His cabinet meeting discussed the possibility of creating a “trans-Tasman bubble” through which people could freely travel between Australia and New Zealand, without quarantine measures.
The agreement will come into effect when it is safe and when all necessary health, transportation and other protocols are met, the two countries said in a joint statement.
However, it is not specified when this could happen.
As Prime Minister Ardern said, this will not be possible for visitors from other parts of the world for a long time.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison told a conference ahead of the announcement that more time was needed to travel between the two countries.
Australia and New Zealand have closed borders to almost all foreigners as part of preventive measures to combat the covid virus 19.
