China says it wants to strengthen communications with New Zealand and work to maintain peace and stability in the region as the foreign ministers of the two countries met on Monday.
The meeting between Wang Yi and Winston Peters is their first in person since New Zealand elected a conservative government in October 2023. They have previously spoken by phone.
Before the meeting, Wang said in Chinese that China was willing to strengthen strategic communication with New Zealand on international and regional issues in the face of a chaotic and intertwined international situation.
“We will work together to maintain peace and stability in the region and the world,” Wang said.
New Zealand has long been seen as a moderate or even absent voice on China in the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance, which includes the United States and allies, but in recent years has increasingly spoken up publicly when concerned about China’s actions.
