On November 6, 2023, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee, met with former New Zealand Prime Minister John Key in Beijing.
Wang Yi said that China appreciates Mr. John Key for promoting China-New Zealand relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership during his tenure as Prime Minister and for making important contributions to the development of bilateral relations. We hope and believe that Mr. John Key will continue to play a positive role in enhancing China-New Zealand friendship. .
Wang Yi said that China and New Zealand are friends of mutual trust and partners of mutually beneficial cooperation. China-New Zealand relations have long been at the forefront of China’s relations with Western countries, creating many “first” records. Mutual respect and mutually beneficial cooperation between China and New Zealand fully conform to the interests of the New Zealand country and people. The continued and steady development of relations between the two countries has also injected stability into the region. China is willing to establish a good working relationship with the new New Zealand government, strengthen high-level exchanges, jointly open a new chapter of China-New Zealand comprehensive strategic partnership, and promote China-New Zealand cooperation to achieve new achievements.
John Key said that he was very pleased to have the opportunity to visit China many times during his tenure as Prime Minister of New Zealand and was committed to promoting the development of New Zealand-China relations. I believe that the new New Zealand government will continue to attach great importance to relations with China, adhere to the one-China policy, and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with China. I am also willing to make efforts to promote better development of New Zealand-China relations.
