New Zealand's relationship with Iran. New Zealand exports to the region, worth over a billion dollars, are mainly traditional foodstuffs and the region remains the prime source of New Zealand oil imports. Background: New Zealand’s Middle East interests The wider Middle East region remains a strategic fulcrum, the stage on which major international political and economic challenges are being played out. New Zealand aims to play a constructive role in regional security issues and maintains a substantial ongoing New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) deployment to Afghanistan. New Zealand exports to the region, worth over a billion dollars, are mainly traditional foodstuffs and the region remains the prime source of New Zealand oil imports. New Zealand is represented in the region by Embassies in Ankara, Riyadh and Tehran. An Embassy in Cairo is to be opened in 2006. We have a Consulate-General in Dubai and a number of Honorary Consuls supporting the work of the Embassies in their accreditations to Afghanistan, Bahrain, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and United Arab Emirates. The Embassy in Ankara represents New Zealand to the Palestinian Authority.The Embassy in Paris is accredited to Algeria and the Embassy in Madrid is accredited to Morocco. Country Specific Relationships Iran New Zealand has had an Embassy in Tehran since 1975, making it New Zealand's longest-standing mission in the Middle East. In the year to December 2005 New Zealand exports to Iran were worth NZ$77.42 million, with butter and wool being the major export commodities. Imports in the same period amounted to NZ$57.58 million and consisted mainly of refined petroleum products (92.6%) and carpets, along with smaller quantities of dates, figs and grapes. Iran is a growing market for a range of New Zealand products and services, including electronics, software systems, geothermal expertise, CNG technology, air traffic control services and fisheries resource management services. The bilateral relationship between both countries is now governed by the Political and Economic Cooperation Commission (PECC) which offers a framework for the continuation of high-level visits and has a broader scope that better reflects the political and commercial relationship. The inaugural meeting of the PECC took place on in Wellington on 7-9 March 2005.
