Asia New Zealand Foundation (Asia:NZ) is a non-partisan and non-profit organisation dedicated to building New Zealanders’ knowledge and understanding of Asia.
Established in 1994 we represent a unique partnership between the public and private sectors.
As the leading non-government organisation on Asia-New Zealand relations we work in five main areas – business, culture, education, media and research. In addition, we run the Young Leaders Network and take a lead role in Track 2 bilateral and multilateral dialogues in the Asia-Pacific.
Our programmes enable scholarships, seminars, internships, educational support, special events and exchanges, track 2 unofficial diplomacy, in-house and commissioned research - all designed to equip New Zealanders with first-hand experience of Asia and to forge valuable links to the region.
Our experienced staff develop initiatives and form partnerships with a wide range of groups within New Zealand and throughout the Asian region.
Asia:NZ is overseen by a top-level Board of Trustees drawn from business, community, academic and leadership backgrounds. Our Board of Honorary Advisers are distinguished leaders from throughout the Asian region.
