Dame Patsy hosted a reception for patronage organisation Sister Cities New Zealand, as they celebrated 40 years of global connection and diversity.
There are close to 160 sister city relationships currently active in New Zealand, encompassing cities and regions in around 24 countries.
Sister Cities New Zealand aims to foster international understanding in order to encourage an exchange of education and culture, and where possible, tourism and trade as catalysts for mutual economic growth.
Congratulations on 40 years of encouraging friendship and co-operation.
