AUCKLAND, New Zealand, May 1 (Xinhua) -- A report released by the New Zealand China Council (NZCC) on Tuesday proposed a collaboration to create a game simulation that is "both engaging and informative" emphasizing aspects such as cultural exchange and people-to-people bonds under the framework of China's Belt and Road Initiative.

The report, intended to be a first step in helping to shape New Zealand's engagement with the initiative announced in 2013, suggests the construct of the game could also include exploring the societal benefits from trade flows, the impact of infrastructure on movements of people and goods and the potential impact of both bilateral and multilateral trade agreements.

The interactive game with live play would also enable people-to-people connections and an opportunity for Belt and Road countries to present their culture and history, the government-funded NZCC report says.

The New Zealand game industry has the ability and expertise to create a business case outlining this proposition further, it says, adding that New Zealand already has game development businesses that understand building and delivering games for a global audience, and several New Zealand games businessses have investment and publisher relationship with Chinese partners.

New Zealand also has a track record of creative innovation, the report says, adding no Belt and Road related game exists in the market.
