NZ Business Connect to Play Key Partnership Role in Aba Prefecture Agriculture, Culture & Tourism Promotion Event in Auckland – 19 May 2026

NZ Business Connect will take a leading role in supporting a major Agriculture, Culture & Tourism Promotion Event in Auckland on Tuesday, 19 May 2026, working alongside the Auckland Business Chamber and the visiting senior delegation from the People’s Government of Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province.

NZ Business Connect was directly approached to provide professional partnership expertise in business outreach, industry engagement, and cross-border commercial facilitation—reflecting the organisation’s strong reputation for connecting New Zealand enterprises with international opportunities.

“Working alongside the Auckland Business Chamber allows us to bring New Zealand businesses into direct conversation with senior officials and industry leaders from Sichuan. This event is about building real relationships that can lead to meaningful commercial outcomes.” — Phillip Quay, NZ Business Connect

The event aims to strengthen commercial, cultural, and tourism cooperation between New Zealand and Aba Prefecture—one of China’s most distinctive regions, known for its dramatic natural landscapes, Tibetan and Qiang cultural heritage, and strong agricultural and livestock sectors.

The programme will feature presentations from the Aba delegation, remarks from New Zealand representatives, and structured networking sessions designed to foster practical cooperation in agriculture, animal husbandry, tourism development, and cultural exchange.

Targeted invitations are being extended to principals, presidents, managers, and senior decision-makers from medium-sized and large enterprises across Auckland.

Aba Prefecture plays a central role in ecological conservation and cultural preservation in northwestern Sichuan, overseeing initiatives such as the protection of Duo Mei Lin Ka National Wetland Park, the development of scenic areas including Lian Bao Ye Ze and Man Ze Tang Wetland, and the promotion of sustainable tourism across its 13 counties.
