New Zealand’s Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon, will visit China next week for meetings with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leaders, including President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang.

The three-day visit, from June 18 to 20, will focus on growing trade, which was worth over NZ$38 billion ($22.87 billion) last year, as well as strengthening education and tourism links and maximising opportunities for New Zealand businesses.
