Just throwing this out there as NZ (FVEY) has an Embassy in Beijing and three Consul-Generals about China, one in Guangzhou and there’s a small NZ community resident in Chongqing.

Interesting about the 8th Global Wood Trade Conference held in Chongqing in September.

Press Release: New Zealand Government

Hon Shane Jones

Minister of Forestry

13 September 2018

‘The Minister will attend the 8th Global Wood Trade Conference in Chongqing, along with a delegation that includes New Zealand wood processing companies, the New Zealand Forest Owners Association, and Crown research Institute Scion.

“It’s important that we continue to take steps like this to promote strategic cooperation in areas of significant mutual economic potential.

“This is a well-timed visit as it allows us to highlight the recent changes to the Overseas Investment Act, which will come into force in October. The changes will streamline the process of investing in New Zealand’s forestry sector and will also place more emphasis on value-added wood processing that will create jobs,” Shane Jones said.

Minister Jones departs New Zealand on September 14 and returns on September 22.’
