WELLINGTON -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao left New Zealand Friday morning
for Cambodia after winding up his official visit to New Zealand.

The special flight, after leaving Wellington airport, made a stop over at

The Chinese Premier arrived in New Zealand on April 5 for his official
visit. During his visit here, Premier Wen met with New Zealand Prime
Minister Helen Clark, talking practically and constructively about
enhancing bilateral cooperation and having reached vital common views.

Premier Wen also met with New Zealand Governor-General Silvia Cartwright,
and the opposition party leader Don Brash during his visit here.

New Zealand is the third leg of Premier Wen's four-nation Asia-Pacific
tour which has taken him to Australia, Fiji, where he was present at the
First Ministerial Conference of the China-Pacific Island Countries
Economic Development and Cooperation Forum.
