review magazine


Review
is Asia:NZ's free official magazine.

The current Winter Edition is the final printed version of Review magazine. After some 14 years, we are embracing a more efficient mechanism for delivering our quarterly information magazine – the Web – and will be providing news updates daily. The Foundation is as committed as ever to providing comprehensive coverage of Asia:NZ’s activities, and we will continue to serve our readers through the Asia:NZ website.

Over the next few months, our Web Content Manager, Antonia Kokalova-Gray, will be working on a project to make the website more dynamic, with more informative and timely commentary on Asia New Zealand matters. We will feature regular news stories and articles, so you will continue to get all the news, reviews, analysis and opinion that Review magazine is well-known for. Look out for our promotional flyer outlining changes and new features to our website later in the year.
