The 27th ASEAN – New Zealand Dialogue took place on February 20-21 in Cambodia, focusing on commitments to further deepening bilateral strategic partnership in 2020.
Participants acknowledged outcomes in cooperation between ASEAN and New Zealand, and pledged to closely coordinate in ensuring efficiency of regional cooperation mechanisms such as the East Asia Summit (EAS), the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting Plus (ADMM ).
Sharing the same view of supporting an open, fair and rules-based multilateral international trading system, the two sides agreed to evaluate the implementation and negotiation for upgrading the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (AANZFTA) and exert efforts to complete negotiations on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) in 2020.
