TODD MULLER (National—Bay of Plenty): The National Party joins with the other parties of the New Zealand Parliament in support of the parliamentary motion No. 1. Two days ago, I had the privilege of attending the seventh annual China Business Summit in Auckland, where our longstanding relationship with China was assessed through the lens of the last 50 years and the mutual challenges and opportunities which sit in front of us. I was reminded of our longstanding diplomatic relationship, dating back to 1972, and our broader history which goes back even further. I listened to what China and New Zealand have built together over this time, how our two countries have grown, and our people succeeded together—in particular, since the signing of the trade agreement in 2008. I reflected that, in a world where people are increasingly at odds and where a shared sense of purpose has often been replaced with self-interest—and conflicts of self-interest—it remains as true as ever that an ability to engage and to discuss issues are critical to our ongoing peace and prosperity. But that peace and prosperity must be shared.
