Kia ora Tyler

Thank you for your OIA request received on 15 January 2025 for:

- "full powers" for New Zealand's representative to sign the Articles of Agreement of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (https://www.treaties.mfat.govt.nz/search...)

(By "full powers", I mean a document that a head of state, a head of government, or the foreign minister, authorises someone else to sign or conclude a treaty on the state's behalf. Whether or not the document contains the term "full powers" in its heading for instance is really for the state to decide, which is New Zealand in this request. Also, this request is about the 'full powers' for "signature" of the Articles of Agreement by New Zealand.)

Is it possible to provide, to extent possible subject to necessary redactions or omissions,

copy of formal diplomatic or other statements or notes, which relate to New Zealand's recognition and establishment of diplomatic relations, that were exchanged between the government of New Zealand and:

- Montenegro (around 2006)
- Kosovo (around 2008)
- South Sudan (around 2011)

This email confirms receipt of your request and advises that we will respond to it as soon as reasonably practicable, and in terms of the timeframes and requirements of the OIA. Please note, this takes into account the upcoming statutory holidays and the summer period between 25 December 2024 to 15 January 2025, which are not considered working days, as set out in section 2(1) of the OIA.

Please note that our response letter to you (with your personal details redacted), and any enclosed documents, may be published on the Ministry’s website.

Ngâ mihi
