It's not every day that our Prime Minister meets with the Chinese President, but today is one of those days.
Jacinda Ardern last spoke in-person to Xi Jinping in 2019 on a visit to Beijing, and today the two leaders are meeting ahead of the APEC summit in Bangkok.
Ardern says she won't shy away from having a frank conversation about spaces of disagreement, despite China being New Zealand's biggest trading partner.
New Zealand China Trade Council chair John Mckinnon spoke to Māni Dunlop.
