Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji met with New Zealand's Governor-General Michael Hardie Boys in Beijing on the morning of December 1.

The meeting is still in progress at press time.

Boys' visit, the first ever state visit to China by a governor-general of New Zealand, reciprocates the visit by Chinese President Jiang Zemin to New Zealand in September last year.
