New Zealand PM Ardern announces upgrade of free trade deal with China
New Zealand said on Monday it has concluded a deal to upgrade its free trade agreement with China which has been under negotiations for years.
The upgraded agreement will make exporting to China easier and reduce compliance costs for New Zealand exports by millions of dollars each year, the trade ministry said in a statement.
The upgrade would ensure nearly all New Zealand's wood and paper trade to China will have preferential access over the next 10 years, it said.
“This ensures our upgraded free trade agreement will remain the best that China has with any country,” Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said.
The upgrade also secures a commitment from Beijing to promote environmental protections and ensure that environmental standards are not used for trade protectionist purposes, it added.
New Zealand was the first developed country to sign a free trade agreement with China in 2008. It has been working with Beijing to upgrade the agreement for the last three years. China is New Zealand’s largest trading partner, with annual two-way trade recently exceeding NZ$32 billion.
