Last night we also headed to a reception at the Embassy of New Zealand hosted by their Ambassador Tim Groser, right. We snapped him with New Zealand Trade and Enterprise's Claudia Batten and Minister of Economic Development Steven Joyce opening the Embassy doors to celebrate New Zealand's accession to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement.
Guests enjoyed New Zealand fine wines and champagne with smoked salmon, lamb chops, raw clams, and ahi tuna served on tables in the shape of New Zealand's two main islands. Here, the Embassy's Whitney Talbot and Charlotte Simcock bookend GoodWorld's Dale Nirvani Pfeifer.
Over 150 representatives of New Zealand companies and government agencies were there, and officials mingled in the Embassy's atrium and outdoor patio. Here, Intermedix's Gregg Lord, New Zealand Trade Commissioner Vicky Whitelock, and Hamilton Jet US's Jeremy Flatman.
