On 30 October 2026, Ambassador-Designate Zhao Xing presented the copy of Letter of Credence to Mrs Gano Siohane, Head of the Niue High Commission to New Zealand.

Ambassador-Designate Zhao said that over the 19 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, China-Niue relations have come a long way, with strong momentum across the political, economic and people-to-people fields. On the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, China stands ready to work with Niue to enhance sound relations and cooperation, and to move the China-Niue Comprehensive Strategic Partnership to a new level, so as to deliver greater benefits to the two peoples.

On behalf of the Government of Niue, Mrs Siohane welcomed Ambassador-Designate Zhao on taking up his new post and looked forward to further progress in Niue-China relations. The Niue side welcomed Ambassador-Designate Zhao to visit Niue at an appropriate time to enhance friendship and cooperation between the two sides.
