A live-streamed presentation by MFAT Deputy Secretary Vangelis Vitalis.
Last year and in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, New Zealand formally launched its trade recovery strategy.
Deputy Secretary Vangelis Vitalis from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade will present an update on the strategy, including the outlook for 2021 - both challenges and opportunities, at this Nelson Marlborough branch event held in association with New Zealand King Salmon.
Thank you to our event sponsor. 
Vangelis Vitalis is Deputy Secretary, Trade and Economic. He is also the APEC2021 Senior Officials’ Meeting (SOM) Chair for New Zealand’s host year and the Chief Negotiator for the Free Trade Agreement with the European Union.
