WELLINGTON, Oct 20 (Reuters) – New Zealand said on Tuesday it will work to deepen trade ties \u200cwith Brazil and Canada to diversify export \u200cmarkets amid global economic uncertainty, as a free trade agreement with \u200bIndia came into force. <\/p>\n
The announcements come ahead of New Zealand’s closely fought November 7 election, with Trade and Investment Minister Todd McClay presenting the measures as part \u200cof a broader target \u2060to double the value of exports by 2034. The first New Zealand-Brazil Trade and \u2060Investment Dialogue is expected to be scheduled after Brazil’s October 25 election runoff and New Zealand’s vote. <\/p>\n
\u2022 From \u200bTuesday more \u200bthan half of New \u200bZealand’s exports to India \u200care tariff-free and this will rise to 82% over time. Tariffs have been removed on products including sheep meat, wool and coal, while apples, kiwifruit and milk albumins will receive preferential quota access. “The gains go \u200cwell beyond exports. They reach \u200bsuppliers, local businesses and the towns \u200bthat depend on \u200bthem,” McClay said. <\/p>\n
\u2022 The statement said New \u200cZealand and Brazil would establish \u200ba Trade \u200band Investment Dialogue covering trade, investment, World Trade Organization reform and possible future trade negotiations. <\/p>\n
\u2022 New \u200bZealand and Canada \u200cwould create an annual dialogue between senior officials, \u200bfollowed by annual trade-minister meetings. <\/p>\n
