Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta will travel to China on Tuesday for two days.

This will be China's first visit from a Cabinet minister since 2019, and Nanaia Mahuta will be meeting new Chinese foreign minister Qin Gang.

Nanaia Mahuta's trip comes as China’s President Xi Jinping travels to Moscow to support Russian President Vladimir Putin.

NZME business commentator Fran O'Sullivan says the timing of this trip is a coincidence, as the Government has been looking to arrange a meeting between Foreign Ministers for some time.
