Ambassador Mike Moore ANZAC lecture highlights New Zealand’s foreign policy perspective
More than 100 invited guests attended Ambassador Mike Moore’s annual Center for Australian and New Zealand Studies ANZAC
lecture at Georgetown University on Thursday, 12 April.
Ambassador Moore’s lecture entitled, “Foreign Policy in an Interdependent World: A New Zealand Perspective,” gave an
overview of the sacrifices of Australians and New Zealanders in world wars and several regional wars and conflicts
around the world.
Several New Zealand, Australian and State Department officials attended the ANZAC lecture ahead of 25 April, when ANZAC
Day is commemorated. Anzac Day is a day to commemorate the past and a day when New Zealanders and Australians reflect on
the work of their Defence personnel currently serving their country at home and overseas.
