新西蘭總理希普金斯(Chris Hipkins)近日率團訪華。近日，新西蘭中國友好協會奧克蘭分會會長丁大雄(Mike Dawson)在接受中新網專訪時，表達了對兩國關系更進一步的期待。丁大雄表示，新中雙方在妥善處理和發展雙邊關系方面取得了成功，為太平洋國家發展與中國友好關系樹立了典范，期待總理此次訪華能夠進一步加強雙邊關系，增進兩國友誼和相互理解。

他進一步指出，不久前，《區域全面經濟伙伴關系協定》(RCEP)對15個簽署國全面生效，帶來了多邊主義的戰略機遇。新中兩國在該框架下開展經貿務實合作，不僅為兩國人民帶來了高質量的產品和服務，還創造了大量就業和增收機會，他也期待，該協定能夠繼續促進太平洋國家的繁榮發展。(張東方)

As New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins started his first visit to China, Mike Dawson, president of the Auckland Branch of the New Zealand China Friendship Society expressed his expectations for further strengthening the bilateral relations in an interview with China News Network.

“New Zealand has every reason to believe that the successes arising out of how the New Zealand-China diplomatic relationships were properly handled and developed can be an excellent model for Pacific nations to adopt,” said Dawson.

He hopes that the prime minister's visit will further strengthen the diplomatic relations, the friendship, understanding and goodwill between the two sides.
