Sino-New Zealand relations, is the bilateral relationship between New Zealand and China. ==Free trade agreement== (詳細はPremier of the People's Republic of China Wen Jiabao and Prime Minister of New Zealand Helen Clark in Beijing. Under the agreement, about one third of New Zealand exports to China will be free of tariffs from 1 October 2008, with another third becoming tariff free by 2013, and all but 4% by 2019.〔 In return, 60% of China's exports to New Zealand will become tariff free by 2016 or earlier; more than a third are already duty-free.〔(Key outcomes - Goods ), New Zealand - China Free Trade Agreement, New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.〕 Investment, migration, and trade in services will also be facilitated.〔(Key outcomes ), New Zealand - China Free Trade Agreement, New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.〕 This free trade agreement is New Zealand's largest since the Closer Economic Relations agreement with Australia was signed in 1983. It is the first time China has entered into a comprehensive free trade agreement with a developed country. The agreement has taken over three years to negotiate. On 19 November 2004 Helen Clark and President of the People's Republic of China, Hu Jintao announced the commencement of negotiations towards an FTA at the APEC Leaders meeting in Santiago, Chile. The first round of negotiations was held in December 2004. Fifteen rounds took place before the FTA was signed in April 2008. While the FTA enjoys the support of New Zealand's two largest political parties, Labour and National, other parties such as the Green Party and the Māori Party oppose the agreement.〔Hone Harawira, (Maori Party opposes FTA with China ). Press release, Maori Party, 1 April 2008.〕〔Russel Norman, (Trading away our integrity – for what? ). Press release, Green Party, 7 April 2008.〕 Winston Peters was also a vocal opponent of the agreement, but agreed not to criticise it while acting as Minister of Foreign Affairs overseas (a position he held from 2005 to 2008). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「China–New Zealand relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
