China has signed separate agreements to link its education system more closely to those in Australia and New Zealand.
In a series of agreements reached during a visit of the Chinese president Xi Jinping from 19 to 21 November, the New Zealand government committed to increasing student exchange between the two countries and to promoting the mutual recognition of qualifications.
