New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, has wrapped up a visit with Chinese President, Xi Jinping, in Beijing following a brief one-day meeting.
The two leaders appeared to clear the air after an issue following New Zealand’s decision to ban equipment from Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei from future 5G mobile networks last year.
Mr Xi called on New Zealand not to discriminate against Chinese companies during the meeting.
Ms Ardern says, “I did want to visit Beijing at this time to underline the importance that we place on our relationship with China — it is one of our most important and far-reaching relationships.”
