Asia New Zealand Foundation was founded in 1994 as a non-profit, apolitical organisation dedicated to building New Zealand's links with Asia.

Asia:NZ aims to promote initiatives which deepen understanding and relationships between New Zealanders and the peoples of Asia. New Zealand’s interactions with Asia and its peoples open up a whole world of new opportunities.

Asia:NZ’s role is to educate New Zealanders about these opportunities and to encourage and facilitate responses to them.

We are involved in a wide range of programmes - business, culture, education, media and research.

We develop and coordinate projects, scholarships, seminars, educational materials, special events, exchanges and research, all designed to equip New Zealanders with first hand experience of Asia and forge valuable links to the region.
