Hipkins said the pair had "some really good conversations" about a range of issues affecting Kiwis.
"The King's been closely following the recovery from the flooding and the cyclone so he wanted to talk about that and that led into a broader conversation about climate change.
"The King has a really active interest in NZ having been a regular visitor to NZ. I'm sure he will intend to continue to be a regular visitor in the future."
In a lighter moment, the King gifted the prime minister a tray of warm sausage rolls.
Despite no tomato sauce, Hipkins was seen grinning ear to ear with his doggy bag of royal treats.
