Alumni events in China build ties with NZ
More than 100 past, current and future students, as well as representatives from China’s Ministry of Education and six other key government agencies, attended an event in Beijing on 8 July 2022, organised by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao.
Two former international students played a major role in the success of this event.
Chinese author Ma Boyong gave a keynote speech. Ma Boyong was a student at Waikato University, and today he is a well-known novelist, columnist and blogger, whose work has been adapted into successful TV drama series. His achievements have been recognised with the People's Literature Prize, one of China's most prestigious honours. He told guests how his New Zealand study inspired his creativity, his desire to be a writer, and led to love – he met his wife in New Zealand!
Reggie Li, who trained at the New Zealand School of Travel and Tourism and later worked extensively at top restaurants and hotels in New Zealand as a chef, is the New Zealand Embassy’s executive chef. Reggie gave salmon cooking demonstrations to the assembled guests. The demo was interactive and put a spotlight on searing/cooking salmon with a blowtorch. The salmon was then enjoyed by the guests. New Zealand-imported Aoraki salmon is often served at embassy events as it has a strong reputation in China, promotes sustainability and is, of course, loved by Chinese.
In Guangzhou on 10 July 2022, a similar number of guests gathered to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between New Zealand and China, and the festival of Matariki, the Māori New Year.
Organised by ENZ with support from other government agencies (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, and Tourism New Zealand), the 2022 NZ Guangzhou Community Mid-Year Event brought together close to 100 agents, past, present and future students and New Zealand expats. The event included a screening of the award-winning film Whale Rider.
“Events like this help us maintain relationships with our alumni students, connect new students with alumni, and strengthen people’s connections with New Zealand,” says Miranda Herbert, ENZ’s Director based in China.
“It is also very rewarding to showcase the benefits of a New Zealand education and hear about its impact on the lives and careers of former students.”

Brazil to headline NZIEC as Country of Honour
ENZ has joined with the Brazilian Embassy in Wellington to bring to life the partnership, which celebrates the growing education connections between New Zealand and Brazil.
Lisa Futschek, ENZ Regional Director Americas and Europe, said ENZ is excited to showcase Brazil this year.
“As the largest student recruitment market in Latin America and with momentum growing, Brazil is an important diversification market for New Zealand’s international education industry.
“Moreover, conference participants will revel in tasters of Brazil’s vibrant music and cuisine culture!”
Paulo Camargo, Ambassador of Brazil in New Zealand, is delighted to see Brazil featured as the Country of Honour at NZIEC 2018.
“Every year, thousands of Brazilians come to New Zealand to study across a variety of sectors. I also see a growing interest of New Zealand students going to Brazilian universities. In the process, this exchange builds one of the best foundations for the strong relationship between two countries: the human ties of friendship and understanding.
“Brazil and New Zealand share many values and have great potential to enhance educational cooperation. I look forward to working with Education New Zealand to turn 2018 into a landmark for our two-way partnership."
Be sure to soak up some of the sights and sounds of Brazil at NZIEC 2018
Last year, almost 3,600 Brazilian students studied in New Zealand. Engagement with Brazilian institutions is also increasing due in part to the Prime Minister’s Scholarships for Latin America and the funding offered to help internationalise Brazil’s postgraduate departments.
In March this year, five New Zealand universities participated in the Brazil/New Zealand Academic Cooperation Forum designed to enhance collaboration and research linkages at postgraduate level.
The Country of Honour designation at NZIEC celebrates and showcases New Zealand’s international education connections with partner countries.
NZIEC delegates can look forward to engaging with the team from the Brazilian Embassy at its booth in the Expo Hall – and experience a few delights during conference.
