New Zealand businesses sign multiple agreements with China

More than a dozen New Zealand businesses in the food and beverage, tourism, education and other sectors set a new milestone with Chinese companies in Shanghai on Friday, with the signing of partnership agreements during the New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins' official visit to China.

Hipkins attended the event to promote business-to-business partnerships between the two countries on the final day of his visit to China, which concluded Friday. The prime minister said he is looking forward to opportunities that go against the odds to deepen partnerships not only on the economic front, but also in people to people exchanges.
