China is a huge market.
And how much does New Zealand export there? Ask expats.
China is today Austalia's largest export market for both goods and services,
accounting for nearly a third of total exports,
About China-Australia Free Trade Agreement(CFAFTA)
ChAFTA lays an historic foundation for the next phase of Australia's
economic relationship with China. It will unlock significant opportunities
for Australia. China is Australia's largest export market for both goods and
services, accounting for nearly a third of total exports, and a growing
source of foreign investment. The agreement was signed on 17 June 2015.

Report of The United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee, a bipartisan
endeavor, on Sri Lanka released December 07, 2009, which stated
unequivocally that "the U.S. Government has invested relatively little in
the economy or the security sector in Sri Lanka, instead focusing more on
IDPs and civil society. As a result, Sri Lanka has grown politically and
economically isolated from the West. .."This strategic drift will have
consequences for U.S. interests in the region. ...U.S. policymakers have
tended to underestimate Sri Lanka's geostrategic importance for American
interests. Sri Lanka is located at the nexus of crucial maritime trading
routes in the Indian Ocean connecting Europe and the Middle East to China
and the rest of Asia."
That is the view of Secretary Kerry, which in his higher understanding of
geo-politics, VG rejects. In recognition of VG's profound grasp of
geopolitics, President should make him our Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Dear Philip
You may have already known the very sad news of the death of Dayasiri who was another of our popular and an illustrious batch-mates.
He was always helpful, humble and a well respected professional colleague.
I have copied this write up appearing in Sunday Times ( Sri Lanka) of the 29th and hope you would share with our batch mates who may be unaware.
You may know more about his sad demise and may even have even attended his funeral services.
We can only offer our deepest sympathies to his surviving family at this time of this great loss.
