Despite a global recession, economic relations between New Zealand and China remain strong, in part because of a free trade agreement signed a year ago between the two countries.
New Zealand's Ambassador to China, Carl Worker, has seen firsthand how the country has changed in the last thirty years.
I want to see China succeed and do well, because that's good for China, and it's terribly good for New Zealand, and the region and the world.
I have enormous respect for China and the Chinese people for the achievement; it's important to China, but also important for the world, because China is more than a fifth of the world.
We are different countries, in many many ways… but the important thing which I think is consistent is that we handle on the basis of a lot of underline of good will and commitment to the future, and that's been the spirit, and it will continue to be the spirit.
