FYI: from the New Zealand Press Association (24/5/97)
The United States has confirmed its interest in setting up a
free trade agreement with New Zealand, Trade Minister Lockwood
Smith said yesterday. Dr Smith met US trade Representative
Charlene Barshefsky yesterday on the possibility of pursuing a
free trade agreement similar in style to the Closer Economic
Relations Agreement between New Zealand and Australia.
