Opening doors to China

China is a country that has become very important to New Zealand. We want to expand our links further to grow trade and other opportunities between our two countries.

On 3 February 2012, Prime Minister John Key introduced the NZ Inc China Strategy – a vision for New Zealand’s developing engagement with China.

It is fitting that the China Strategy is being launched at the beginning of the auspicious Year of the Dragon, and also the year marking the 40th anniversary of New Zealand’s diplomatic relations with China.

The NZ Inc China Strategy is the second in the Government’s series of centralised plans – developed to strengthen our economic, political and security relationships with countries and regions, and to encourage people-to-people links and two-way investment.
