On the 23rd of March 1987, a Scientific and
Technological Co-operation agreement was signed between the Government
of New Zealand and the Government of the People's Republic of China.
This agreement encourages the exchange of research ideas, equipment and
people between our two countries. The Right Honourable Sir Geoffrey
Palmer, Prime Minister, signed this agreement on behalf of the New
Zealand Government.
New Zealand views this prestigious
bilateral relationship highly with regular dialogue about further areas
of collaboration taking place between MoRST staff and the First
Secretary for Science at the Embassy of the People's Republic of China.
Many co-operative projects have taken place within the margins
of this agreement, including exchanges in the fields of forestry,
agriculture, geology, seismology, vulcanology, Antarctic research,
meteorology and horticulture. Most recently New Zealand has tuned into
China's work on the environmental protection of the urban environment.
Several
delegations have been hosted over the years by both New Zealand and
China.
