The NATO secretary-general has praised New Zealand's contribution to the fight against ISIS, despite the government refusing a request to stay on in Iraq as part of a new mission.

Jens Stoltenberg met with the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in Wellington on Tuesday, praising her leadership after the the March 15 terror attack.

Mr Stoltenberg is the former Prime Minister of Norway, and was in power during the 2011 terrorist attacks by Anders Breivik in which 77 people were killed.

He spoke to Corin Dann.
