Summary
Vice-President Han Zheng addressed the opening ceremony of the 14th World Peace Forum at Tsinghua University on 3 July 2026, proposing four initiatives: upholding UN authority,
deepening multilateral co-operation, improving global economic governance,
and strengthening AI governance. Around 400 foreign former dignitaries and diplomatic envoys attended.
Commentary
While global governance issues may appear broad, they directly shape the operating environment for New Zealand's SMEs. Support for UN authority and multilateral co-operation helps reduce trade policy uncertainty,
critical for export-dependent New Zealand. The AI governance proposal signals rising competition over technology standards; Kiwi firms in AIoT or smart agriculture should track potential compliance cost changes.

Summary in Chinese | 摘要
2026年7月3日，国家副主席韩正在清华大学出席第十四届世界和平论坛开幕式并致辞，提出四点建议：维护联合国权威、深化多边合作、完善全球经济治理、加强人工智能治理。约400名外国前政要、驻华使节等与会。
Commentary in Chinese | 评论
全球治理议题看似宏大，实则关乎新西兰中小企业的经营环境。联合国权威维护与多边合作深化，有助于降低贸易政策不确定性，对依赖出口的新西兰至关重要。人工智能治理倡议则提示技术标准竞争加剧，NZ企业若涉足AIoT或智慧农业，需关注合规成本变化。
