The Council’s international relationships seek to connect Pōneke Wellington to the world to support our city vision “Pōneke – the creative capital where people and nature thrive”.
Our specific policy objectives are to:
- foster global connection and understanding,
- facilitate and connect Tākai Here and Te Tiriti o Waitangi partners to the world to achieve their international aspirations,
- facilitate and connect local businesses, community, educational, and cultural groups to the world to achieve their intended outcomes,
- collaborate with cities internationally to learn and share best practices to solve our challenges.
The Council agrees international relations priorities every three years to align the international relations work programme with the Council’s strategic priorities.
