New Zealand Embassy media release ahead of New Zealand Education Fairs in Medan, Jakarta and Surabaya

Jakarta, INDONESIA - March 7th 2013: Ahead of a major series of New Zealand education fairs in Jakarta on Sunday 17 March, Medan on 16 March and Surabaya on 20 March, H.E. David Taylor, Ambassador of New Zealand to Indonesia, said: “Our message is simple: New Zealand offers world class educational facilities at reasonable cost, high-quality qualifications that are recognised and transferable, and in an environment that is safe, fun and friendly”.

I recently spent a fortnight in New Zealand. This was not only a good opportunity to enjoy the brilliant late summer weather in Wellington, Dunedin and Auckland, but also a chance to connect with a wide range of businesses with interests in Indonesia.

One of the most important aspects of an Embassy’s work is the provision of consular services and support. When New Zealanders get into trouble, we need to respond quickly. The safe travel website (www.safetravel.govt.nz) provides a lot of helpful information to think about before travelling and when something goes wrong. It’s the obvious first place to go for information and advice, and is the official source of advice for New Zealanders travelling or living overseas.
