This week Japan is hosting the 22nd annual APEC Ministerial Meeting. Twenty economies are meeting to discuss key regional and international trade issues.
High on the agenda for New Zealand is the Trans Pacific Partnership. Negotiation on this is now attracting wide interest around the region. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on her recent visit to New Zealand that her government is committed to making it work. Trade between our two countries is worth around $8 billion a year.
APEC plays an important role in promoting trade among a diverse range of economies at different stages of development. This meeting will also conclude the Doha Development Round of trade negotiations for the World Trade Organisation.
Trade is a crucial part of National’s six-point economic plan to boost our economy, create jobs and growth, and build a brighter future for all New Zealanders.
