If New Zealand could borrow one thing from Europe… what would it be? According to our study: food and drink are right up there! But what about Eurovision? Take a look to see how many Kiwis want to see New Zealand compete 👇 🇪🇺🇳🇿 #StrongerTogether

It’s no surprise Kiwis love to travel — but where in the EU do they go most? With 27 countries and no internal borders, one trip can turn into many pretty quickly. And as the EU–NZ relationship keeps growing, there’s never been a better time to go. 🇪🇺🇳🇿 #StrongerTogether

“New Zealand's relationship with Europe is in the best shape it’s been in a generation” — as PM Christopher Luxon said at the EU–NZ Business Summit in Oct 2025. So how do New Zealanders feel? Our first of it's kind perceptions study asked just that 👇 🇪🇺🇳🇿 #StrongerTogether
