新西兰与越南进一步深化全面战略伙伴关系
新西兰总理克里斯托弗·拉克森与越南国家主席兼越共中央总书记苏林（To Lam）就推进新西兰与越南全面战略伙伴关系达成新的合作安排。
拉克森表示，此次访问的重点，是推动两国伙伴关系取得实际成果，并让两国民众从中受益。
“此次访问的目的，就是让我们的伙伴关系真正发挥作用，为两国带来切实利益。”
拉克森说，两国领导人去年在河内会晤时，在庆祝建交50周年之际将双边关系提升至全面战略伙伴关系。此次双方进一步通过具体行动落实这一目标。
两国领导人讨论了扩大贸易与投资、降低贸易壁垒、加强科技领域联系，以及深化维和行动、海上安全和跨国犯罪等方面的合作。
双方并宣布五项合作成果，涵盖农业合作、市场准入、教育、国防以及气候智慧型农业等领域。
拉克森表示，这些成果将为出口商创造新的机会，加强两国教育和安全领域的联系，同时支持农民及医疗专业人员。
农业合作方案将进一步扩大双向市场准入，包括新西兰蜂蜜和鹿产品，以及越南鲜切花和绿植产品。
与此同时，两国还将进一步推进气候智慧型农业合作。在水稻种植领域，相关工作已经取得进展，在提高农民收益的同时，将水稻生产产生的碳排放减少了50%。
拉克森表示，苏林此次访问为未来十年新西兰与越南关系的发展确定了清晰方向。
“我们致力于把今天达成的协议转化为实际成果，让两国人民从中受益。”
此次访问也是自2007年以来，越南国家主席首次对新西兰进行国事访问。
New Zealand, Viet Nam advance relationship
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Viet Nam’s President and Party General Secretary, To Lam, have agreed new steps to advance the New Zealand-Viet Nam Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
“This visit has been about putting our partnership to work and delivering benefits for both countries,” Mr Luxon says.
“When we met in Ha Noi last year, we marked 50 years of diplomatic relations by elevating our relationship. Today we have backed that ambition with action.”
The leaders discussed growing trade and investment, reducing barriers, expanding links in science and technology, and deepening cooperation on peacekeeping, maritime security and transnational crime. They announced five outcomes spanning agricultural cooperation, market access, education, defence, and climate-smart agriculture.
“These outcomes will open new opportunities for exporters, strengthen education and security links, and support farmers and health professionals,” Mr Luxon says.
An agricultural package will expand two-way market access, including for New Zealand honey and deer products and Vietnamese cut flowers and foliage, while further support for climate-smart agriculture will build on work that has lifted farmer profits and cut rice emissions by 50 per cent.
“His Excellency To Lam’s visit has set a clear direction for the New Zealand-Viet Nam relationship for the decade ahead,” Mr Luxon says.
“We are committed to turning today’s agreements into results for people in both countries.”
General Secretary and President To Lam’s visit is the first State visit to New Zealand by a President of Viet Nam since 2007.
