According to the Private Sector Advisory Council (PSAC), the stronger public-private partnerships and investment opportunities between the two countries were showcased at the Philippines-New Zealand Business Matching Session held at Raffles Makati on April 18.

"We explore new opportunities to further strengthen and expand our bilateral ties through increased economic partnerships. And for us, there is no better time than now for New Zealand to be part of the Philippines' promising growth story and steady ascent to the global stage," Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs Frederick Go said in a statement released by PSAC yesterday.

Among those who attended the business matching session with Luxon were Go, Sabin Aboitiz and Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala, chairman of the Ayala Group.
