Our story in New Zealand

CANTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The Canton Chamber of Commerce in New Zealand was established in 2014 with the support of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Guangdong Committee and Guangdong Chamber of International Commerce and became the Guangdong Economic and Trade Representative Office in New Zealand in 2018 with more than 160 members throughout New Zealand.

Our mission is to provide information on business and investment opportunities to businesses and investors in both New Zealand and China. 

Over the past eight years, CCCNZ has established strong and strategic partnerships with New Zealand organizations engaged in the China relationship including New Zealand China Trade Association (NZCTA), Employers & Manufacturers (EMA), Auckland Business Chamber and the Hongkong New Zealand Business Association. 

In working with these organizations, CCCNZ not only builds trust between the Chinese Community and New Zealand mainstream, but also helps Chinese entrepreneurs integrate into the New Zealand business environment.

Guangdong has a strong manufacturing sector and its GDP has been ranked first in China for more than 30 years.

 

In strengthening the trade relationship between Guangdong and New Zealand, CCCNZ established the “New Zealand Guangdong Product Exhibition Centre” in Auckland in October 2020 to promote Guangdong’s building materials, household appliances, food produce, and other products from Guangdong based manufacturers and suppliers.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the diplomatic relationship between New Zealand and China, CCCNZ was delighted to host the first New Zealand Guangdong Products Expo in Auckland to showcase a range of products from more than 200 manufactures and suppliers from China, an event that will be held annually from 2022 in continuing to support and promote economic and trade cooperation between New Zealand and China.
