High Commissioner leaving this month

The High Commissioner, to the UK and Ireland, Derek Leask is leaving this month. He will be sorely missed here - his leadership and commitment to furthering New Zealand’s interests has been outstanding.

To see some of his final thoughts on the importance of the relationship between the UK and New Zealand please see his recent speech to the New Zealand Studies Network below: "What Counts in New Zealand's Links with Britain."
