“I thoroughly enjoyed the Summit. This was a fantastic opportunity to gain a better understanding of what the future holds for NZ-China relations. We not only discussed our cultural and societal differences, but also how we are alike in many ways. I have made many new friends, both Chinese and NZ students, of whom I will stay in contact with as a result of this conference. it was a great opportunity to practice my Chinese with native speakers, and also help them with their English. I really enjoyed hearing Graci Kim speaking about her time as a NZ diplomat in Beijing.”
