New Zealand said on Thursday that it was reviewing its relationship with Hong Kong, which would include extradition arrangements, controls on exports of strategic goods and travel advice.
"China's decision to pass a new national security law for Hong Kong has fundamentally changed the environment for international engagement there," Foreign Minister Winston Peters said in a statement.
Peters said the government has directed officials to review all of New Zealand’s policy settings with respect to Hong Kong “to determine the appropriate nature of our cooperation going forward”.
He said New Zealand “will continue to monitor the law’s impact on the people of Hong Kong, with whom we share close links”.
The announcement comes shortly after neighbouring Australia suspended an extradition agreement with Hong Kong. (Reuters, RTHK)
