AMBASSADOR’S MESSAGE
Upon my assignment to New Zealand in June, 1968, I studied the economic relations between New Zealand and the Republic of China as well as its future prospects, said the Taiwan Ambassador to New Zealand (Mr Konsin C. Shah). The advent of two major factors during the months previous to my assignment had vastly improved the prospect of prosperous trade between our two countries. They are the monetary reform of November, 1967, and the introduction of a direct shipping service between Taiwan, Republic of China, and New Zealand in June, 1968. I must now emphasise the need for this service to maintain a schedule of reasonable frequency through co-ordinated efforts of Governments and industries. It is common knowledge that northbound ships of the China Navigation Company are loaded to the Plimsoll line, but southbound ships
leave ports of Taiwan and Hong Kong relatively light. It is evident that efforts from all quarters should be brought in to rectify this situation, so as to increase the direct shipping between New Zealand and Taiwan—building Taiwan into a market of major proportions for New Zealand products.
