SHANGHAI Party Secretary Han Zheng and visiting New Zealand Prime Minister John Key talked about increased cooperation between the two countries in a meeting last week.

Han said Chinese President Xi Jinping visited New Zealand in 2014 and the two countries established comprehensive strategic partnership. Shanghai has close exchanges and cooperation with New Zealand, particularly with Dunedin, its sister city for more than 20 years.

He said the Chinese economy remains robust, which is important for the world economy. Shanghai is deepening reforms and pushing for greater market opening to ensure sustainable economic growth.

Han said he believes Key’s visit will help him understand more about China and will give a boost to the bilateral cooperation.

Key said the upgrade of New Zealand-China relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership is creating new opportunities for the two countries. New Zealand is keen to speed up negotiations with China to upgrade their free trade agreement so that more New Zealand products can enter the Chinese market.

The prime minister said Shanghai is a dynamic commercial city and a gateway for New Zealand companies to enter China. He hoped both sides can expand exchanges and cooperation and he welcomed more Shanghai companies to invest in New Zealand.

Chinese Ambassador to New Zealand Wang Lutong and the secretary-general of the CPC Shanghai Committee, Yin Hong, were present at the meeting.
