The MoUs are for two years

Simon Smith, Counsellor Immigration in New Delhi, Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment, INZ, who was in India as part of the Immigration New Zealand delegation, spoke about the details of the six MoU that were signed.

How did these MoUs come about?

This is a key part of INZ’s Vision 2050. This tripartite agreement is the first tourism partnership that has been signed globally so we are setting a record here in India.

The six partners have their network across India. Its not that they are Mumbai-based but they have their reach far and wide and that’s one of the reasons why we chose them.

Please share some details of the MoU?

At this stage, the MoU is only for the MICE sector and business events. These are the sectors that we really want to push. But there is no reason why we wouldn’t look to extend it to other segments.
