One of the important themes of Matariki (the Māori new year) is strengthening relationships amongst whānau (family) and wider communities.

Consul-General Peter Lund was therefore pleased to host a ‘Matariki Long Lunch’ for valued contacts of the Consulate-General over a three course meal showcasing New Zealand ingredients.

A karanga (traditional Māori welcome call) and karakia were part of the proceedings and the Consul-General was delighted to welcome Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Algernon Yau, as well as Dr Jonathan Austin, New Zealand Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China as special guests.

A tasty, healthy, portable snack – Rockit apples have seen continuous and strong growth in the Hong Kong market. The main growing region for Rockit apples is the Hawke's Bay on the east coast of the North Island - the ideal climate for apple orchards.

The Kiwi Ball was held at the Regala Sky City Hotel on Saturday. New Zealanders and friends of Aotearoa got together to celebrate all that’s wonderful about our country - and enjoyed an extensive buffet, NZ wines and beers, Kapa Haka performance by Te Hokioi ki Whanga Kakara, live band, vibrant art display by contemporary artist Alex Leung and more!

The FLIGHT NZ 2026 theme was inspired by New Zealand’s aviation history, including the remarkable achievements of Kiwis, such as Richard Pearse and Jean Batten. As an island nation, aviation has been a part of our narrative, from the early 19th century when balloon flights began, to launching rockets into space. For a country where our national icon is a flightless bird, Kiwis have been taking off in wonderful ways!
