Subject: Official Information request - Signed Memorandum of Understanding

 

Dear Massey University,

 

I am writing to request information under the Official Information Act
regarding the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Massey
University, Beijing Jiaotong University and Guizhou University.

 

As a concerned citizen, I would like to understand the consultation
process that was undertaken with relevant government agencies such as the
Ministry of Education, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and the
Ministry of Defence prior to the signing of this agreement. I believe that
it is important to consider the potential implications of such an
agreement on our national defence, our defence partners and the transfer
of technology to the People's Republic of China.

 

In addition to the consultation process, I would also like to know if
Massey University has received any funding from Beijing Jiaotong
University or Guizhou University, and if so, what conditions or
restrictions are attached to such funding.

 

I would appreciate it if you could provide me with any information on the
measures that were taken to ensure that our national interests were
protected before the signing of this agreement and any funding received
from the universities mentioned.

 

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Adam Irish
