New Zealand Embassy Washington, United States of America

Each year on April 25, the Australian and New Zealand Embassies commemorate ANZAC (Australia New Zealand Army Corps) Day to recognise the sacrifices that Australian and New Zealand service men and women have made - not only in defending their country, but in upholding their nations’ longstanding commitment to peace and security.

On 12 January 2009 the United States introduced a new electronic visa waiver system that requires all New Zealanders (and many others) planning to travel to the United States for less than 90 days for business or tourism without a visa to obtain an on-line travel authorisation before they go. With effect from 20 January 2010 it is fully mandatory.

New Zealand and the United States have agreed to enhance cooperation
in science and technology research to improve the shared capabilities of both
nations to protect against acts of terrorism and other threats to domestic and
external security. 9 January 2010. 

“I am delighted to offer my congratulations and gratitude to Julian Robertson and John Mullen, both of whom were recognised in the New Zealand New Year’s Honours list. Both are American citizens who are very good friends of New Zealand and who have demonstrated that friendship through their contributions to the relationship between our two countries”, said New Zealand Ambassador Roy Ferguson.
