The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Gerry Brownlee, will host the Chairman of China’s National People’s Congress (NPC), Zhao Leji, from 20-22 November. Chairman Zhao is the head of China’s national legislature and the third-ranking member of China’s political system.
During his visit, Chairman Zhao will meet with the Speaker, receive an official welcome to New Zealand’s Parliament, and have a courtesy call with Prime Minister Christopher Luxon. Other engagements will take place across several cities, celebrating the strong cultural connections and agricultural partnerships between our two countries.
This is the first visit by a Chairman of China’s National People’s Congress to New Zealand since 2005. Parliamentary exchanges between China and New Zealand have taken place since 1977.
