Overview
New Zealand is a long-standing partner of ASEAN and the New Zealand ASEAN Scholars awards is an initiative which will contribute to the commitments made in the Joint Declaration for ASEAN-New Zealand Comprehensive Partnership (JCP) 2010-2015. The JCP aims to
strengthen New Zealand’s relationship with ASEAN and support the Initiative for ASEAN Integration to close the development gap for the developing member states.
The New Zealand ASEAN Scholars awards are part of the New Zealand’s official development
