New Zealand China Young Leaders Forum 2017

25 October 2017

Since diplomatic relations between New Zealand and China began 45 years ago, the bilateral relationship has grown to become one of New Zealand’s most important and valuable. China is New Zealand’s second-largest goods and services trading partner, as well as a major source of tourists, migrants and students.
