Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao visited New Zealand last week.
He held talks with Prime Minister Helen Clark on free trade negotiations (协定）. New Zealand was the first western country to back China's membership of the WTO and its status as a market economy. New Zealand will be hoping China agrees to a timetable for
talks on a free trade agreement. China is New Zealand's fourth largest trading partner, accounting for almost $US3.6 billion in two-way trade.
