Former diplomat Alistair Crozier appointed.
The New Zealand China Council has appointed Alistair Crozier as its new executive director.
Crozier has had an extensive career in New Zealand-China diplomacy.
Most recently, Crozier was the South Island manager and business programme director at the Asia New Zealand Foundation and worked as chief of staff to the mayor of Christchurch.
His other experience includes leading New Zealand’s first diplomatic post in Chengdu, south-west China, and serving as the foundation consul-general from 2014 to 2019.
He was also appointed New Zealand’s first education counsellor in China in 2003 and has served in a number of other diplomatic and policy roles for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade in China and the wider Asia-Pacific region.
Chairn John McKinnon said Crozier brings a formidable skill set and more than a decade of experience to his new role at the New Zealand China Council.
The New Zealand China Council is a New Zealand organisation that acts as a cross-sector, peak body for the New Zealand-China relationship.
