With a welcome drink on arrival, delicious Latin American aperitivos provided by Besos Latinos, and the Mexican Embassy’s Charge d'Affaires and First Secretary Daniela Gil Sevilla as our guest speaker, this is an extraordinary event and one not to be missed.

Building the Southern Link

Tue, 25 Jun, 2019 7:30 AM — 5:00 PM
Aotea Centre, Auckland

There is an opportunity to make New Zealand a major and natural connection point between China and South America – it’s called the Southern Link. The idea has been talked about for some time. China’s Belt and Road Initiative provides a framework to make it a reality.

This international conference to be held at the Aotea Centre in Auckland on 25 June is the opportunity to build a value proposition for the concept and to put together a coalition to take it forward.
