Exports focus for ambassador (NZ)

Growing the relationship between the Philippines and New Zealand, especially for exporters, will be the aim of former Blenheim man and ambassador designate to the Philippines Reuben Levermore, reports The Marlborough Express. Exporters, including those in the wine industry, had a lot of room to grow business, which the embassy could help with, Mr Levermore said. “As people become more wealthy and their tastes evolve there will be more opportunities for New Zealand,” he said.
