The first signs of a thaw in the relationship between New Zealand and China, with China-New Zealand Year of Tourism back on.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has just announced at her post-Cabinet press conference that the new opening ceremony be held on the 29 of March.
When the delay to the launch of the New Zealand/China year of tourism was revealed by The Herald last month, Ardern said it was because of "scheduling issues".
It was meant to be launched in mid-February but was postponed by the Chinese.
The delay raised eyebrows considering it was at the same time as New Zealand security officials raised questions about Huawei providing 5G services in New Zealand.
And a restructure of Vodafone could see hundreds of jobs going offshore.
