[history] => Establishment
Direct diplomatic relations between New Zealand and the Republic of Turkey began in January 1992 when the Turkish Government opened an Embassy in Wellington. The New Zealand Embassy in Ankara, Turkey, was opened in 1993.1 Prior to the establishment of the Embassy, the New Zealand Ambassador to Iran was accredited to Turkey.
As a diplomatic mission based in a non-Commonwealth country, the Ankara post was termed an Embassy.
Functions and Responsibilities
The Embassy in Ankara carried out the New Zealand Government’s business and managed New Zealand's political, economic, trade, security and other relations with the Republic of Turkey. As with all New Zealand diplomatic posts, the Embassy was responsible for carrying out the following general 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.2
Consular services included dealing with passports, nationality and citizenship applications, legal and notarial matters, accommodation and travel difficulties, accident, illness and arrest.
Posts overseas 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 Ankara Post was the New Zealand Ambassador to the Republic of Turkey, and was assisted by the Deputy Head of Mission and Senior Administration Officer. The Ambassador was also accredited to represent the New Zealand Government in the State of Israel, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordon, and the occupied Palestinian territory.3
The Embassy had links with the New Zealand Trade and Enterprise office in Ankara, and was responsible for:
- New Zealand Consulate-General, Istanbul;
- New Zealand Consulate, Tel Aviv, Israel;
- New Zealand Consulate, Amman, Jordan.
