In recent years, the economic and trade and investment cooperation between Guangzhou and Australia and New Zealand has shown a good tendency. The cross-border e-business between Guangzhou and Australia and New Zealand has had a notable increase, while the prosperous economic and trade contacts manifest the increasingly tightened relations between Guangzhou and these two countries. Moreover, sitting at the geographically central zone of Europe, Asia and Oceania, Guangzhou has naturally endowed advantages in the communication with Australia and New Zealand. It has 67 flights to Australia and New Zealand every week, ranking the top nationwide. Cai Zhaolin said that it is just the best time and has great significance to build the park in Guangzhou. The construction of the park must be able to tighten the communication and economic and trade ties between Guangzhou and Australia and New Zealand and inject new power for the friendly interaction between these parties.
