Xi Jinping to meet New Zealand's Hipkins
New Zealand's Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta said on Tuesday she had a "very robust" discussion during an earlier meeting with her Chinese counterpart, as the leaders of the two countries prepare to meet. Prime Minister Chris Hipkins is currently leading a delegation to Beijing that arrived on Monday and includes some of New Zealand's biggest companies. He is expected to meet President Xi Jinping later on Tuesday, as well as Premier Li Qiang and the chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee, Zhao Leji, before he returns home on Friday. The nation is New Zealand's largest export market by far, most notably for its dairy industry. (Reuters)
