As the two countries enter the second decade of their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, President Xi emphasized the need to deepen cooperation and expand mutual benefits for both nations. He called for closer collaboration in trade, sustainable development, and people-to-people exchanges.
Xi also stressed the importance of jointly upholding a fair and just international order, with the United Nations at its core. He reaffirmed China’s and New Zealand’s shared commitment to multilateralism, supporting a rules-based international trading system centered on the World Trade Organization (WTO), and promoting global fairness and equity.
