全球21国贸易部长齐聚奥克兰!新西兰迎来二十年来最重要国际贸易会议

新西兰华人每日资讯网 2026年7月16日讯 当全球贸易保护主义抬头、地缘政治竞争持续加剧之际,新西兰本周迎来一场重量级国际会议。

7月17日,新西兰贸易与投资部长Todd McClay将在奥克兰主持召开第二届未来投资与贸易伙伴关系(Future of Investment and Trade Partnership,FIT Partnership,简称FIT)部长级会议。来自全球21个国家和地区的10位贸易部长以及约100名政府代表将出席会议。这也是新西兰近二十年来主办规模最大的国际贸易部长级会议之一。

全球贸易体系面临挑战 新西兰推动开放合作

McClay表示,当前国际贸易体系正面临前所未有的压力,各国贸易规则受到挑战,供应链频繁中断,国际经贸关系日趋复杂。

他说:

«“世界贸易体系正承受巨大压力。各国部长来到奥克兰,就是为了共同研究如何减少贸易壁垒,促进国际贸易发展。”»

此次会议汇聚了来自欧洲、亚洲、中东、非洲、拉丁美洲以及太平洋地区的多个经济体。除了FIT现有16个成员外,新西兰还邀请韩国、秘鲁、泰国、斐济和萨摩亚作为观察员出席会议。

降低贸易壁垒 成为会议核心议题

会议将重点讨论如何进一步降低国际贸易成本,让企业即使在没有自由贸易协定(FTA)的情况下,也能够更加便利地开展国际贸易。

McClay指出,目前影响新西兰出口最大的障碍之一,就是各种非关税壁垒(Non-Tariff Barriers)。

数据显示,这类壁垒目前影响着约90亿纽元的新西兰国际贸易,其中农业、乳制品、肉类、林业等初级产业受到的影响最为明显。

作为FIT伙伴关系现任主席国,新西兰将推动成员经济体共同解决这些问题,进一步提升贸易便利化水平。

数字贸易成为未来重点

除了传统贸易议题外,本届会议还将重点讨论:

  • 推动无纸化和数字贸易;
  • 利用数字化降低企业经营成本;
  • 提高跨境贸易效率;
  • 应对扭曲市场竞争的贸易补贴;
  • 维护公平、透明、以规则为基础的国际贸易体系。

随着电子商务和数字经济快速发展,数字贸易正成为未来国际贸易的重要方向,新西兰也希望借此提升本国企业在国际市场上的竞争力。

新西兰积极拓展国际市场

McClay表示,FIT伙伴关系不仅进一步深化了新西兰与新加坡、瑞士、阿联酋等创始成员之间的合作,也为进入更多新兴市场创造机会。

他说:

«“来自四大洲的贸易部长齐聚奥克兰,再次证明新西兰正在国际贸易舞台发挥积极作用,也向世界展示了新西兰的发展潜力。”»

目前FIT伙伴关系成员包括:

新西兰、文莱、智利、哥斯达黎加、冰岛、列支敦士登、马来西亚、摩洛哥、挪威、巴拿马、巴拉圭、卢旺达、新加坡、瑞士、阿联酋和乌拉圭。

编辑点评

对于出口占国内经济比重较高的新西兰而言,国际贸易始终是经济增长的重要引擎。近年来,全球供应链重组、贸易摩擦以及地缘政治因素不断增加,使中小型开放经济体更加需要加强合作。

此次FIT部长级会议虽然不像APEC或WTO会议那样规模庞大,但其特点在于成员大多属于依赖国际贸易的中小型经济体,更强调通过务实合作、数字贸易和贸易便利化,解决企业在实际经营中遇到的非关税壁垒和行政障碍。

会议成果若能顺利落实,将有助于降低企业跨境经营成本,为新西兰农产品、食品、制造业及服务贸易创造更多国际市场机会,同时进一步提升新西兰在亚太及全球贸易体系中的影响力。

Ten trade ministers and up to 100 delegates representing 21 countries will gather in Auckland this week for one of the most significant international trade meetings New Zealand has hosted in two decades, Trade and Investment Minister Todd McClay says.

Mr McClay will chair the second Future of Investment and Trade (FITP) Partnership Ministerial Meeting on 17 July, bringing together economies from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the Pacific.

“This is a global gathering, hosted by New Zealand, at a time when the world trading system is under real pressure. Ministers are coming to Auckland to focus on reducing barriers and boosting trade,” Mr McClay says.

The 16 FITP member countries are small and medium sized economies that rely on trade. New Zealand has invited Korea, Peru, Thailand, Fiji and Samoa to attend this year’s meeting as observers. 

“Visiting ministers will have an opportunity to engage with the New Zealand business community and make decisions that mean trade rules are consistent, less costly and easier to navigate.

“We are agreeing practical ways to reduce barriers and make it easier for everybody to trade outside of a free trade agreement. We have to do this because trade rules are becoming contested, relationships more complex, and disruptions more frequent.

“The FIT Partnership is one way to address the unnecessary red tape, complex processes and regulations that directly affect our Kiwi exporters. Non-tariff barriers are a clear example. They affect $9 billion of New Zealand trade and hit the primary sector hardest. As Chair, I will be working with FIT partners to tackle them as a priority.

“The meeting also deepens our ties with the initiative’s other founding partners, Singapore, Switzerland and the UAE, while opening doors in emerging markets and regions where our trade links are less developed,” Mr McClay says.

“Hosting ministers from four continents puts New Zealand at the forefront of global trade once again, and shows the world just what we have to offer.”

New Zealand is a founding member of the FIT Partnership, which includes Brunei Darussalam, Chile, Costa Rica, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Malaysia, Morocco, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Rwanda, Singapore, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates and Uruguay.

Ministers will also discuss promoting paperless and digital trade, which reduces business costs and lifts productivity, confronting subsidies that distort trade, and reinforcing the rules that secure a level playing field.
