together with the Aspen Institute New Zealand, we cordially invite you to an

Ambassadors‘ Talk

„German-New Zealand Ties Amid Changing Geopolitical Realitites“

with

Craig Hawke
New Zealand’s Ambassador to Germany

and

Nicole Menzenbach
Germany’s Ambassador to New Zealand

Over the past 15 years the Indo-Pacific has grown in prominence in the geopolitical discourse and thus Germany is aiming for a stronger engagement in the region. As a major actor in the region, New Zealand is a significant partner to U.S. and EU allies.

In the wake of Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine and Germany’s growing role in the EU’s promotion of international cooperation, how is Germany’s international security policy in the Pacific region shifting? What is the role of the Ambassadorial offices in promoting bilateral cooperation and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific? How can Germany and New Zealand help shape a rules-based order that also takes China into account? How can cooperation on climate policy be intensified?

We will discuss these and more questions with our honorable guests.

The discussion will be moderated by Sir Don McKinnon. Our audience will have the chance to ask questions.
