New Zealand's foreign minister set to meet with Chinese counterpart.

New Zealand's Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta will visit her counterpart in China this week, marking the first visit by a New Zealand minister to China in four years. The visit comes at an awkward time as Chinese President Xi Jinping plans to visit Moscow, giving a diplomatic boost to Russian President Vladimir Putin. New Zealand's relationship with China is complex and wide-ranging, with China being New Zealand's largest trading partner. Mahuta plans to raise concerns about human rights and security, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and discuss issues the two countries cooperate on, including trade and the environment.
