There’s a major delegation of Brazilian VCs in NZ right now. They’re visiting every university here, and it was a pleasure to host them at @VicUniWgtn. A base is being built for richer research connections between 🇳🇿 & 🇧🇷. Great timing with the Southern Link news too

Fantastic news PM @chrisluxonmp. NZ now has a chance to be a trans regional hub between Asia and South America. The timing is great too: NZ universities are strengthening our ties to Latin America (there’s a big Brazilian VC delegation here now)

The service will begin in December and will link China and South America via Auckland Airport.

Wonderful news! Many people have lobbied very hard and long for this — particularly @StephenJacobi & the @nzchinacouncil — with support from the @LANZBC , my former LatAm CAPE, @MFATNZ & others.
Major strategic deliverable from @PMLuxon's visit to China: opening of the #SouthernLink air route connecting China and Latin America through New Zealand, and the transit visa waiver for Chinese travelers transiting through NZ. China Eastern will be the first airline to operate
