Happy National Day – New Zealand

Warm congratulations to the people of New Zealand as you commemorate your National Day. This important occasion reflects your nation’s enduring commitment to partnership, unity, and the safeguarding of its rich cultural heritage.

Waitangi Day provides a meaningful moment to honor the Treaty of Waitangi, a cornerstone of New Zealand’s history, and to celebrate the principles of mutual respect and shared identity between Māori and non-Māori communities. It is a time for reflection on the past and a renewed commitment to a future grounded in understanding, inclusivity, and progress.

May this National Day bring peace, pride, and renewed purpose to all New Zealanders at home and throughout the diaspora. The Honorary Consular Corps of Ghana deeply values the cordial relations between Ghana and New Zealand and looks forward to strengthening the bonds of friendship and cooperation in the years ahead.

Happy Waitangi Day, Aotearoa!
