Press Release: New Zealand Government
Prime Minister Jenny Shipley today welcomed news that the
Chinese and the United States Presidents will take the
opportunity of their visits to New Zealand in September, to
hold a bilateral summit.
"It is pleasing that the United
States and China have taken the opportunity of their New
Zealand visits for a meaningful discussion between the two
of them.
"New Zealand is the perfect setting for such a
meeting, given our great friendship with both countries, and
because we can offer a relaxed environment and a neutral
location, which should encourage a free and frank exchange
of views between the two countries.
"In my meeting with
Chinese President Jiang last week, I reiterated our offer to
facilitate a meeting and it is gratifying that his Foreign
Minister and US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright have
now announced that a meeting will be held.
"The US and
China are both very important to New Zealand and we will do
everything we can to facilitate dialogue between the two. A
positive relationship between China and the United States is
good for New Zealand and the other countries in the
Asia-Pacific region," Mrs Shipley
said.

By some estimates it adds on average, one new track every 1.4 seconds. (No wonder it's so hard to keep up with new music.) Spotify has 345 million active users, and 155 million of them have been willing to pay a subscription in order to enjoy their music ad-free. Ads are not a major driver of company revenue...
