"Traditional Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years and is an important part of China's profound culture and an advantage and feature of Chinese medical science. Traditional Chinese medicine not only belongs to China, but also belongs to the world. It has spread to 183 countries and regions," Wang said.

"Traditional Chinese medicine not only has advantages and characteristics in the treatment of chronic diseases, functional diseases and complex diseases, but also plays a prominent role in the prevention and treatment of acute infectious diseases," Wang added.

Guo Zongguang, director of the China Cultural Center in Wellington, saw the promotion as an opportunity to strengthen ties between New Zealand and China.

"Under the concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing, it is necessary to promote traditional Chinese medicine to go overseas."

In the next two days, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners from China will enter New Zealand schools and museums to carry out traditional Chinese medicine product workshop experience activities and carry out traditional Chinese medicine culture promotion and exchange.
