Dear Ministry of Defence,

Can you please 1. provide a job description for your "Industry Relationship Staff" as indicated in the paragraph below 2. advise how many people hold this position?

The NZ Defence Industry Association website states:
"The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) and the New Zealand Ministry of Defence (MOD) are very active supporters and participants in NZ DIA activities. They are not commercial members but participate through their Industry Relationship Staff who work closely with New Zealand companies to promote commercial opportunities in the supply of products and services. This relationship and experience building in dealing with the defence establishment has assisted a number of NZ DIA members in their export activities with offshore defence purchasing departments."

Thank you for your assistance.

Yours faithfully,

Valerie Morse
