New Zealand's foreign minister, Nanaia Mahuta, will travel to China on Tuesday to meet her counterpart Qin Gang on the first such visit by a New Zealand minister since 2019.
Mahuta said she would raise New Zealand's concerns about key security challenges at the meeting with Qin Gang in Beijing, such as the "illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine", and advocate for outcomes reflecting its values on issues such as human rights.
"New Zealand's relationship with China is one of our most important, complex and wide ranging," she said in a statement. "I intend to discuss areas where we co-operate, such as on trade, people-to-people and climate and environmental issues.
Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said New Zealand's position on China had not changed. The government last year adopted a tougher tone after China and the Solomon Islands struck a security pact.
