[history] => Establishment
The New Zealand Embassy in Riyadh was officially opened in October 1984, with a resident ambassador appointed in January 1985.1 Prior to the establishment of the Embassy, the New Zealand Ambassador to Rome, Italy was accredited to Saudi Arabia.2
As a diplomatic mission based in a non-Commonwealth country, the Riyadh Post was termed an Embassy.
Functions and Responsibilities
The Embassy in Riyadh carried out the New Zealand Government’s business and managed New Zealand's political, economic, trade, security and other relations with the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As such, the Post was responsible for carrying out the following functions:
- To inform and advise Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade Head Office in Wellington on events within the countries and organisations to which they were accredited, which were relevant to New Zealand's interests;
- To implement the New Zealand Government's policy, in the most effective manner possible for the country/organisation in question;
- To oversee the interaction of New Zealand's interests and advise on New Zealand's national advantage where these contended;
- To act as the formal channel for government-to-government contact;
- To represent the New Zealand Government, speak and negotiate on the Government's behalf when required, and take responsibility for the activities of all New Zealand Government Officials in the country in question;
- To provide consular services for visiting New Zealanders;
- To facilitate official visits by New Zealand Ministers of the Crown and officials;
- To provide services for other New Zealand Government departments when this was interdepartmentally agreed;
- To facilitate non-governmental, especially business, contact when this was both necessary and an effective means of achieving New Zealand's external relations objectives;
- To ensure that post activities were well planned and that resources were deployed efficiently and in accordance with the Government's priorities;
- To undertake public affairs activities where this was an effective means of influencing the host government or organisation in New Zealand's favour;
- To conduct New Zealand's relations in a manner which maintained and enhanced the mana (dignity, prestige) of the New Zealand people.3
Consular services included dealing with passports, nationality and citizenship applications, legal and notarial matters, accommodation and travel difficulties, accident, illness and arrest.
Overseas posts were tasked to develop constructive relationships at the government level, in business and more widely in the communities to which they were accredited. They also had a brief to promote New Zealand in general: to raise the country's profile, increase knowledge about New Zealand and foster a positive image of the country and its people.
Structure
The Head of Mission for the Riyadh Post was the Ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, who was assisted by the Counsellor and Deputy Head of Mission, the First Secretary, Second Secretary, Attaché, Defence Attaché, and Education Counsellor and Attaché.4 The Embassy worked with the New Zealand Trade and Enterprise office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, which assisted with trade and investment relations for Saudi Arabia.
The Ambassador was also accredited to represent the New Zealand Government in the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Kuwait, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
