A preparatory meeting will be held in Hong Kong in March.

The agreement would have a wide-ranging scope with emphasis on trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, including early elimination of tariffs on all goods of Hong Kong and New Zealand origin, and a set of forward-looking rules of origin which could encourage two-way trade.
