Aiming to facilitate consular related services of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in New Zealand with greater focus on business to business cooperation, the Government of Afghanistan has recently assigned Mr. Mohammad Yasin Hotaki, an Afghan-origin New Zealand`s citizen as first Honorary Consul of Afghanistan in New Zealand. 

Mr. Hotaki is based in the city of Auckland, having full jurisdiction throughout New Zealand.  He facilitates and promotes commercial activities, doing business, including consular services with particular focus on B2B matchmaking between Afghanistan and New Zealand. 

The Honorary Consul is a private individual who works on voluntary basis with no remuneration under full instruction and authority of the Ambassador (in the case of Afghanistan, the Ambassador to Australia and non-resident Ambassador to New Zealand and Fiji based in Canberra).

The Embassy is confident that the commencement of activities of the first Honorary Consulate of Afghanistan to New Zealand has opened a new chapter in the history of bilateral relationship between the two friendly nations.
