Jacinda Ardern mistakes Japan for China during Tokyo visit
New Zealand PM blames jet lag after hailing ‘relationship with China - excuse me sorry, with Japan’
Ardern had only just touched down in the country and was giving an interview when she said in her opening remarks it was
an “incredibly exciting time for New Zealand in its relationship with China - excuse me sorry, with Japan”.
When asked later about the blunder, Ardern put the mistake down to jet lag, having only just arrived from New Zealand, reported TVNZ.
“You’ll understand I’ve been on continuous travel and just this moment I stopped here,” Ardern said.
