New Zealand exporters will have the opportunity to promote their offerings to some of China’s leading e-tailers this week, as part of the Bank of China's Building Online Distribution event.

Twenty e-commerce companies from the People’s Republic have been invited to attend Friday’s inaugural event, which will celebrate the bank’s first anniversary of opperation in New Zealand.

“By hosting our event we aim to promote New Zealand's products and act as a bridge between China and New Zealand,” Bank of China's New Zealand-based chief executive, David Wang, told the NZ Herald.

“Attendees will be able to meet face-to-face with Chinese specialists to exchange ideas, experiences and insights, so as to lay the solid foundation with customers, markets, resources and operations in their cooperation.'

Wang said his company aimed to provide bridging financial services between the two nations in order to enhance trade development.
