Wellington
Routine foreign affairs may be becoming increasingly automated, but NZ should keep doing what it does best to build influence in Asia – cultural and people-centred diplomacy.
Two years since his last visit to New Zealand as part of the Young Business Leaders Initiative (YBLI), Ariestelo is back to keynote at this year's ASEAN Forum in Auckland. As part of the programme, he will also be in the capital to make connections and broaden business networks.
Ariestelo will also share what he’s learnt during his time in New Zealand, what surprised him, and what Kiwi coffee businesses may need to understand about the broader Southeast Asian region.
This event is free to attend, but RSVP for catering purposes.
