About YLN

An initiative of Asia:NZ, the Young Leaders Network (YLN) brings together young and talented people who are forging New Zealand’s future relations with Asia. The network, which has members based in New Zealand as well as throughout Asia and as far afield as the United Kingdom, offers opportunities for further knowledge and connections – for the good of New Zealand-Asia relations.

The purpose of the network is to create a group of outstanding young ambassadors who can inspire fresh thinking on how to build a more integrated and prosperous future between New Zealand and Asia.

The Network offers a range of on- and offshore events and opportunities to equip young leaders with the skills and knowledge required to build links between New Zealand and Asia. In addition, the Network cultivates lasting friendships and deepens members' understanding of each other's cultures.
