Damien O’Connor: NZ united on global trade
When it comes to international trade, politicians from all sides of the aisle are united, says Labour's trade spokesman Damien O'Connor.
The session on trade agreements saw senior officials from the embassies of China, the UK, Australia and the EU talk about the opportunities for trade with their respective countries, and was an eye opener to many.
This sssion was particularly timely given it's expected that NZ and the EU will sign off the long-awaited FTA in the coming days when Chris Hipkins and Damien O'Connor are in Europe.
Over the two days, many topics were canvassed, including the latest consumer trends and the need for NZ to meet the new demands.
Ovrall, a stimulating, interesting election year conference.
