New Zealand Trade Minister Todd McRae said in an email statement that New Zealand and Brazil have agreed to establish a dialogue mechanism to facilitate trade and investment between the two countries. The two sides will explore ways to deepen a wider range of trade relationships through dialogue, including through trade negotiations, and will also use dialogue to develop closer cooperation in specific areas such as WTO reform. The arrangement was reached after senior New Zealand and Brazilian officials met in Brasilia in September.
