Todd McClay: Trade Minister discusses pre-election trade policy

National says it's targeting growing parts of the world with its latest trade policy.

It is promising to attempt seven new deals in five years if re-elected - following the success with India.

These are Brazil, Switzerland, Argentina, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Uruguay and the European Free Trade Association.

National's Trade Spokesperson Todd McClay told Mike Hosking that it takes advantage of recent logistical changes.

He says Chinese airlines are using New Zealand as a stopping point to South America - making trade with the continent easier.
