Chinese Premier Li Qiang emphasized the positive impact of China's economic transformation during his visit to Auckland, New Zealand. Speaking to industrial and commercial leaders, Premier Li outlined how the country’s modernization efforts are set to create new avenues for global development.
Li highlighted that upgrading China's economic structure focuses on high-quality development, which is expected to generate increased demand for premium goods. This includes a surge in the need for products such as dairy, health items, beef, and lamb from New Zealand, opening significant market opportunities for local producers.
On the industrial front, Premier Li pointed to areas like new energy, information technology, and biomedicine as key sectors where China seeks deeper collaboration. These emerging industries present fertile ground for business ventures and innovation between Chinese and New Zealand enterprises.
Trade enhancement is another cornerstone of China’s economic strategy. Li noted that advancements in service trade and cross-border e-commerce are set to accelerate, providing a broader landscape for business growth and international partnerships.
Premier Li encouraged New Zealand entrepreneurs to capitalize on these developments, promising that China remains open to foreign businesses. He assured that Beijing is committed to expanding market access, fostering a business environment that is market-oriented and internationally friendly, and supporting foreign-funded enterprises in their investments and operations.
Echoing the legacy of Rewi Alley, a New Zealander who significantly contributed to Sino-New Zealand relations, Premier Li expressed hope that more New Zealand entrepreneurs will play a pivotal role in strengthening economic and trade ties, ultimately benefiting both nations and their people.
