新西兰周二表示，将致力于深化与巴西和加拿大的贸易关系，以在全球经济不确定性中多元化出口市场，与此同时，新西兰与印度的自由贸易协定已生效。
New Zealand said on Tuesday it will work to deepen trade ties with Brazil and Canada to diversify export markets amid global economic uncertainty, as a free trade agreement with India came into force.
这些宣布是在新西兰11月7日激烈角逐的选举之前作出的，贸易和投资部长托德·麦克莱将这些措施呈现为更广泛目标的一部分，即到2034年将出口价值翻倍。首次新西兰-巴西贸易和投资对话预计将在巴西10月25日大选第二轮投票和新西兰选举之后安排。
The announcements come ahead of New Zealand's closely fought November 7 election, with Trade and Investment Minister Todd McClay presenting the measures as part of a broader target to double the value of exports by 2034. The first New Zealand-Brazil Trade and Investment Dialogue is expected to be scheduled after Brazil's October 25 election runoff and New Zealand's vote.
从周二起，新西兰对印度的出口中超过一半将实现零关税，此后这一比例将逐步提升至82%。羊肉、羊毛和煤炭等产品的关税已被取消，而苹果、奇异果和乳清蛋白将获得优惠配额待遇。麦克莱表示：“这些收益远超出口范围。它们惠及供应商、当地企业以及依赖它们的城镇。”
From Tuesday more than half of New Zealand's exports to India are tariff-free and this will rise to 82% over time. Tariffs have been removed on products including sheep meat, wool and coal, while apples, kiwifruit and milk albumins will receive preferential quota access. "The gains go well beyond exports. They reach suppliers, local businesses and the towns that depend on them," McClay said.
声明称，新西兰和巴西将建立一个涵盖贸易、投资、世界贸易组织改革以及可能的未来贸易谈判的贸易和投资对话。
The statement said New Zealand and Brazil would establish a Trade and Investment Dialogue covering trade, investment, World Trade Organization reform and possible future trade negotiations.
新西兰和加拿大将建立高级官员之间的年度对话，随后进行年度贸易部长会议。
New Zealand and Canada would create an annual dialogue between senior officials, followed by annual trade-minister meetings.
