新西兰作为世贸组织创始成员国，一贯主张维护基于规则的国际秩序。当前，逆全球化潮流涌动，保护主义和单边主义抬头，以世贸组织为核心的多边贸易体制遭遇挑战。中新两国更需携手努力，坚定支持世贸组织在全球经济治理中发挥更大作用，推动全球经济治理朝着公平公正、合作共赢的方向发展。

New Zealand has been a member of WTO since it was created and has always been in support of rules-based international order. Now that surging tides of anti-globalization, coupled with rising protectionism and unilateralism, have posed severe challenges to the multilateral trading system with the WTO at its core. It is all the more necessary for China and New Zealand to work together and give firm support to the WTO in playing a greater role in global economic governance, and to building a global economic governance system based on equality, equity and win-win cooperation.
