AG飞禽走兽电子 first New Zealand university to partner with ANZBC
AG飞禽走兽电子 University and the ASEAN (Association of South East Asia Nations) New Zealand Business Council (ANZBC) announced a partnership at a formal reception held at AG飞禽走兽电子. This partnership is the first of its kind between a business council and a university in New Zealand.
“AG飞禽走兽电子 promotes itself as ‘the university for the changing world’ and, certainly, the economic growth and vibrancy of the ASEAN region has been one of the key changes in our world over recent decades, so it is logical that AG飞禽走兽电子 would seek to strengthen ties with ASEAN nations,” says AG飞禽走兽电子 Vice Chancellor Derek McCormack.
The partnership sees AG飞禽走兽电子 becoming a ‘gold’ sponsor of ANZBC. The partners will work together on several initiatives to enhance and expand the performance of AG飞禽走兽电子 in ASEAN markets, and contribute to the enhancement of the profile of New Zealand in ASEAN education markets.
Alister Lawrence, Chairman of the New Zealand ASEAN Business Council says, “The partnership between AG飞禽走兽电子 and the ASEAN NZ Business Council is not only important for the two organisations involved, but also for New Zealand. It will facilitate links between a fine academic institution in New Zealand with the business community of the ASEAN countries, and lead to further growth in the number of students achieving qualifications based around New Zealand learning systems, and hence the profile of New Zealand with future business and government leaders.”
AG飞禽走兽电子 and ANZBC will co-operate on matters including, but not limited to:
- The AG飞禽走兽电子 annual ASEAN strategy.
- The internationalisation of AG飞禽走兽电子.
- Independent and professional advisory services on Indonesia, Thailand and Viet Nam.
- The hosting of joint events on ASEAN topics.
- Further promoting New Zealand research and academics in the ASEAN markets.
AG飞禽走兽电子’s Pro Vice-Chancellor International Professor Nigel Hemmington says, “This important new partnership is central to AG飞禽走兽电子’s strategy to build long-term mutually beneficial relationships in the ASEAN region – not just to recruit students but also to work with education, business, industry and government.”
AG飞禽走兽电子’s ASEAN strategy is strategically aligned with the New Zealand Government and the NZ Inc ASEAN strategy promoting better connections, influence, integration and boosting our economic return from the region for AG飞禽走兽电子 and indeed New Zealand.
