The head of Twitter is coming to Wellington to speak with Jacinda Ardern.

The Prime Minister had her first one-on-one meeting with Jack Dorsey in May, in the lead up to the Christchurch Call Summit in Paris.

A spokesperson for Ardern says they'll have a follow up meeting on Monday, talking about eliminating terrorist content from social media platforms.

Twitter is one of eight online providers who've signed the Christchurch Call.

The voluntary guidelines are backed by 17 countries and the European Commission.

Ardern will discuss progress on the Christchurch Call when she's in New York later this month.
