Southeast Asian Perceptions of New Zealand – Report Launch

Join us for the presentation and discussion of the Asia New Zealand Foundation’s latest report, Southeast Asian Perceptions of New Zealand.

Co-hosted by the New Zealand Institute of International Affairs and the Asia New Zealand Foundation Te Whītau Tūhono, please join us for the presentation of the Foundation’s inaugural Southeast Asian Perceptions of New Zealand report.

After 28 years of surveying New Zealanders’ perceptions of Asia, the Asia New Zealand Foundation has turned the lens back on New Zealand, for the first time asking 200 subject matter experts across Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines how they view New Zealand and its foreign policy.

Highlights:

• Which country feels the warmest towards New Zealand?

• How is New Zealand depicted in local media?

• Is New Zealand seen as upholding its independent foreign policy?

• Do our Southeast Asian neighbours think New Zealand lives up to its claims and promises?

• What areas should New Zealand be investing more in and increasing cooperation?

Join us for this in-person presentation presented by the Foundation's Director of Research and Engagement Dr Julia Macdonald followed by a panel discussion moderated by Professor David Capie and featuring Kenneth Leong and Professor Jason Young. There will also be the chance to ask questions and learn from informed experts on Asia. We look forward to seeing you on 13 November from 5:30pm - 7:00pm at Government Building Lecture Theatre 1 (GLBT1), Victoria University of Wellington Pipitea campus, 33 Bunny Street, Pipitea, Wellington.

This event is free to attend, but please RSVP.
