A recent seminar in Wellington, hosted by the Treasury, focused on the international context of New Zealand’s trade policy. Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade deputy secretary Vangelis Vitalis presented a talk examining the historical trajectory and current state of the nation’s trade approach. The seminar is part of an ongoing series addressing global disorder and its impact on New Zealand. Discussions centered on how New Zealand should respond to the evolving international landscape. Participants included Jason Paris, Jared Novelly, Helen Robinson, Mike Fuge, and Stew Hamilton, among others. The event contributes to ongoing policy considerations within the government regarding trade dynamics. The column “On the Money” highlighted this as notable business and government activity this week.
