Welcome from the Governor-General

Hon Sir Anand Satyanand, GNZM, QSO

Welcome, Kia Ora, Kia Orana, Fakalofa Lahi Atu, Taloha Ni.

I greet you in the languages of the Realm of New Zealand – English, Māori, Cook Island Māori, Niuean and Tokelauan.

Welcome to the website of the Governor-General of New Zealand. This site offers information on the constitutional responsibilities of the Governor-General and also describes the ceremonial and community activities of the office. You will also find a section on Government House in Wellington, as well as more information on New Zealand and our history.

I very much hope you will enjoy your visit to this site.

Tēnā koutou katoa.

Anand Satyanand
