bilateral relations

Prime Minister said bilateral discussions held between Cabinet and Sepuloni’s delegation before the press conference confirmed both countries need each other for mutual cooperation development.

He said their discussions covered a wide range of issues that are important for both Tonga and New Zealand.

He said there were more people-to-people exchanges and reconfirmed China would continue to work together with Tonga and increase the cooperation and give more benefits to its people.

Mr Huang made the comments during a reception his office hosted to celebrate the 67th Anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, in Nuku’alofa.
