Peters指出，两国合作涵盖多个领域，包括参与监测联合国对朝鲜制裁的国防部署、支持自由开放的贸易体系，以及维护以规则为基础的国际秩序。
推动投资与经贸关系
在与日本商界代表的会晤中，Peters将重点讨论日本企业对新西兰的长期投资，并推动进一步扩大双边商业合作。
他表示，希望进一步加强经贸联系，并鼓励更多日本投资进入新西兰市场，使新西兰成为更具吸引力的投资目的地。
行程安排
Peters将于7月5日离开新西兰，并于7月12日返回。
Foreign Minister Winston Peters will travel to Singapore and Japan next week.
“Singapore is a great friend of New Zealand,” Mr Peters says. “Our bilateral collaboration, underpinned by our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, contributes significantly to New Zealand’s prosperity and security,” Mr Peters says.
“With Singapore chairing ASEAN and New Zealand hosting the Pacific Islands Forum in 2027, we look forward to discussing how we can maximise our mutually beneficial relationship by deepening connections between our regions.”
Mr Peters will meet with counterpart Foreign Minister Balakrishnan, as well as other senior Singaporean leaders to discuss further opportunities under our partnership, and exchange views on key regional and global challenges.
In Japan, Mr Peters will meet political and business leaders.
“New Zealand and Japan see the world in much the same way. In the increasingly contested and complex world, our work together is more important than ever,” Mr Peters says.
“Our cooperation spans from deployment of defence assets to monitor UN sanctions on North Korea, to supporting free and open trade with New Zealand’s fourth largest export market, to shoring up the international rules-based order.”
In meetings with business leaders, Mr Peters will discuss long-term investment provided by Japanese companies.
“We look forward to strengthening commercial links and promoting New Zealand as a destination for further Japanese investment.”
Mr Peters departs New Zealand on Sunday 5 July, returning Sunday 12 July.
