China's Li on Oct. 12 held a phone call with New Zealand Prime Minister Luxon.
Li said bilateral ties remain steady and urged expansion and quality improvement
of bilateral goods trade, tapping services-trade potential and deepening
cooperation in new-energy vehicles, solar PV and wind power. He called for an
acceleration of negotiations on a services negative list under the China–New
Zealand FTA to secure substantive results soon, and urged measures to ease
personnel flows and deepen exchanges in culture, tourism and education. Li also

advance Asia‑Pacific community-building.
