active in Hong Kong based businesses; (b) A concentration in the food
and beverage, forest products, financial services and tourism sectors
together with related industries; and (c) New Zealand as a potential
investment destination for Hong Kong capital and Hong Kong as a
potential destination for New Zealand trade. The NZBAB will be a
fundamental resource for the ongoing implementation of the NZCCHK
