Li made the remarks when addressing a welcome banquet held by various social communities in Auckland.
He said that since the establishment of diplomatic relations 52 years ago, China-New Zealand ties have long been leading China's relations with other developed countries.
Especially in the past 10 years since President Xi Jinping's visit to New Zealand and the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries, Li said, bilateral relations have made historic progress and cooperation in various fields has reached unprecedented breadth and depth, which has not only brought tangible benefits to the two peoples, but also vigorously promoted the prosperity and stability of the region and the world.
The fruitful results are largely attributed to the similarities between China and New Zealand, Li said, adding that both countries have respect for the natural ecology, inclusiveness for multiculturalism, pursuit of innovation and creativity, and aspiration for world peace.
Noting that these similarities are the common treasures of China and New Zealand, Li said that both sides should cherish and protect them and make efforts to enable them to play a greater role in the future development of China-New Zealand relations.
Li said the world today is undergoing accelerated changes unseen in a century and global peace and development are faced with grave challenges, adding that China is ready to work with New Zealand to uphold the shared values, carry forward traditional friendship, upgrade bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership, deepen and expand practical cooperation on biomedicine, agriculture, food, new energy and digital economy.
He said China stands ready to strengthen communication and coordination with New Zealand in multilateral fields to deliver more benefits to the two peoples and contribute to peace and development in the Asia-Pacific region and the world.
Li said since the beginning of this year, the momentum of China's economic recovery has continued to consolidate and strengthen. In the long run, the long-term positive trend of the Chinese economy will not change.
China's new development is a big opportunity for the world, he noted, adding that China stands ready to continue to share the opportunity with other countries so as to achieve common development.■
