Happy National Day – New Zealand

Congratulations to the people of New Zealand as you mark your National Day. This occasion is a proud reflection of your nation’s commitment to partnership, unity, and the preservation of cultural heritage.

Waitangi Day offers a meaningful opportunity to honor the Treaty of Waitangi — a foundational moment in New Zealand’s history — and to celebrate the values of mutual respect and shared identity between Māori and non-Māori communities. It is a time to reflect on the past while looking forward to a future rooted in understanding, inclusion, and progress.

May this special day bring peace, pride, and a renewed sense of purpose to all New Zealanders, both at home and abroad. The Honorary Consular Corps of Ghana values the warm relations between Ghana and New Zealand, and we look forward to deepening the ties of friendship and cooperation in the years ahead.

Happy Waitangi Day, Aotearoa!
