Hi Emma
 
I’ve booked a room at MFAT on Friday at 3pm for Robbie and Ross to come over to MFAT (HSBC
Building, Lambton Quay, Level 12), meet, and we can talk about the conference.
 
I’m still checking whether Ben King is available, but regardless, one of my Managers should be
there to give an overview/update about the New Zealand-China relationship too.

Grateful if you could let Ross’ EA know too.

Kind regards
Colin

On another topic – did you see my email on Friday about the meeting between Robbie and Ross
and if Ben wanted to be involved and if MFAT would host the meeting
