Xinhua, Auckland :
New Zealand’s indigenous Maori businesses are seeking a breakthrough in getting to understand their Chinese partners at a summit of city leaders in New Zealand’s biggest city of Auckland.
Maori political and business leaders have been a significant presence at the Tripartite Economic Summit involving Auckland, southern China’s Guangzhou and Los Angeles of the United States.
The summit was an event to talk and make relationships, said Glenn Wilcox, deputy chairman of Auckland City Council’s Independent Maori Statutory Board.
“For Maori, much like Asian communities, relationships are much more important than anything else,” Wilcox said in an interview with Xinhua.
