Trade talk by Sir Paul
Trade remained an instrument for change throughout the world, the Governor-General, Sir Paul Reeves, told the opening of the New Zealand and Australian Cold Storage Association conference in Christchurch yesterday.
“Trade has shaped New Zealand history ... and cold storage and modern refrigerated vessels are still a vital part of our trade,” Sir Paul told the conference.
The first European contacts with New Zealand
came through trading interests. Trade, exploration and settlement moulded New Zealand between 1800 and 1840.
“The complexity of today’s trading relationships is immense. Unfortunately trade can now be used as a weapon. Sanctions and the withdrawal of trade have become political tools. Trade can also expand what has been described as Western multicultural imperialism, where goods and advertising are dictating social tastes throughout the world,” said Sir Paul.
