If you are an exporter in the Wellington region or know of someone in the region then please check out our ExportNZ ASB Wellington Export Awards for 2024 – entries are currently open! It’s a fantastic way to showcase your business and celebrate the work, the effort, and the innovation that is coming out of the sector.
Ongoing issues with both the Red Sea/ Suez Canal and Panama Canal, means that we’re keeping an eye on New Zealand’s supply chain situation.
ExportNZ would like to congratulate Hon Todd McClay on his appointment as Minister for Trade, as well as his appointments as Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Forestry, and Associate Minister of Foreign Affairs. McClay will know our sector well having served as Minister for Trade between 2015 and 2017. We would also like to congratulate Nicola Grigg, on her appointment as Minister of State for Trade.
One of the advantages of having Trade and Foreign Ministers who have occupied the portfolios
before is that they hit the ground running. Having visited WTO Headquarters in January Hon
Todd McClay is off to Abu Dhabi for the WTO Ministerial meeting, where he will also serve as
one of three Vice Chairs of the meeting
This submission is made on behalf of the New Zealand International Business Forum
(NZIBF) and Export NZ. NZIBF is a forum of senior business leaders working together to promote New Zealand’s engagement in the global economy.
