The Free Trade Agreement between Zeeland and Malaysia (MNZFTA) was signed in Kuala Lumpur on 26 October 2009 and entered into force on 1 August 2010.

The Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership (P4) agreement is an agreement between Brunei Darussalam, Chile, Singapore and New Zealand. The P4 agreement, which stands for ”Pacific 4”, entered into force in 2006. Under P4, most tariffs on goods traded between member countries were lifted immediately, with the remaining duties expiring (until 2015 for Brunei Darussalam and 2017 for Chile).

The agreement was born out of the common interest in helping small economies through a favourable framework for ICT companies. Thus, it promotes the export of its products and services by regulating certain crucial issues, such as the free flow of data and the non-discrimination of digital products, artificial intelligence, digital identity and privacy, among others. For most goods, goods originating in New Zealand under this Agreement need not be accompanied by a certificate of origin issued by a certification body. However, the CPTPP rules of origin take into account the concept of full cumulation, so that treatment in CPTPP Parties can be taken into account to reach the threshold of origin. This principle means that New Zealand inputs can be counted in the eligible content for goods produced and traded between all CPTPP parties. Chancellor Teodoro Ribera said the agreement represented a ”major milestone in times of uncertainty” as the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the integration of digital services, solutions, tools and products and led the global transition to a digital economy. Negotiations on the agreement began in May 2019, when trade ministers from the three countries met and discussed ”ways to maximise the contributions that digitalisation can make to [their] economies and seize the opportunities of trade in the digital age”. DEPA should ”deepen and strengthen cooperation in digital fields, establish new international approaches to digital trade issues and explore new frontiers in the digital economy, such as digital identities, electronic payments, cross-border data flows and artificial intelligence”. Finally, the Ministers called on other interested economies to facilitate women`s participation in international trade, promote gender equality and women`s economic empowerment to join this independent agreement on trade and gender issues.

The Secretary of State added that today there are new digital products that have become objects of international trade, such as music, software, e-books, video games, which ”need to be strengthened by a regulatory framework that strengthens their international expansion, so that anyone with a good business idea and an Internet connection can reach any part of the world.” The Closer Economic Partnership Agreement between New Zealand, Hong Kong and China (CEP NZ-HKC) was signed in Hong Kong on 29 March 2010 and entered into force on 1 January 2011.
