On December 11, “Vision 2024: Deepening Investment Cooperation for a Win-Win Development” Event was held at Auckland. This event was hosted by China Chamber of Commerce in New Zealand (CCCNZ), and supported by the Chinese Embassy in New Zealand, the Consulate General in Auckland and the Consulate General in Christchurch. Ambassador Wang Xiaolong, Consul General Chen Shijie, Consul General He Ying, Mayor of Auckland Wayne Brown, MP Nancy Lu, Carlos Cheung, and more than 400 representatives attended the event. On this event, Minister for Regulation Hon David Seymour, Minister for Regional Development Hon Shane Jones delivered video remarks.

In his remarks, Ambassador Wang stated that, despite a complicated external environment and some downward pressure internally, China’s economy has maintained a positive trend, thanks to its continuous efforts to reform and open up, together with a series of supporting policies. Ambassador Wang stressed that win-win cooperation is a defining feature of China-New Zealand relationship over the past 50 years. China-New Zealand trade has exuded remarkable resilience recently, and two-way investment remains stable and robust. To further grow bilateral trade and investment cooperation, Ambassador Wang suggested business communities from both countries to think long term, play to their strengths, expand and deepen cooperation. Two sides could use the opportunity of the 10th anniversary of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between China and New Zealand to renew shared commitment to mutually beneficial cooperation to bring greater benefits to the two peoples.
