New Zealand – India Education Connect Initiative held in India
To improve the bilateral ties with India, Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) led the "New Zealand – India Education Connect" initiative last month. Under this initiative, a high-level delegation comprising academic heads, regional recruitment staff, Vice Chancellors, Deputy Vice Chancellors, and International Directors of all eight New Zealand universities visited India and signed two Education Cooperation Arrangements (ECAs) and one Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), with the Higher Education Department, Government of Karnataka; IIMA ; and GIFT City respectively.

Lisa Futschek, ENZ’s General Manager of International who led the delegation said, "India consistently holds the position of the second-largest international student market for New Zealand. The dynamic growth in the education partnerships between our two countries is attributed to strategic investments by universities, marked by heightened levels of internationalisation and strengthened commitments through the establishment of in-country representatives/offices by all eight."
The delegation's visit to IIT Delhi was one of the highlights of the visit.
