Press Release – French New Zealand Chamber Of Commerce
The longstanding, powerful bi-lateral ties between France and New Zealand tied to the oldest trophy in international sports, the America’s Cup, will be officially recognised this Friday, 26 February.
The French Ambassador, Auckland Mayor, Olympians, sector leaders, racing competitors, yachting engineers and designers, international media and members of the French New Zealand Chamber of Commerce are gathering at the Sofitel for the exclusive Viaduct event.
“I wonder how many realise the sheer number of French competitors, commentators and creative brains past and present, that have had an active role in revolutionising the Auld Mug alongside Kiwis?” says Thibault Beaujot, President of the French New Zealand Chamber of Commerce.
