Kia ora Do Kyun Kim

Thank you for your OIA request received on 4 September 2024 for:

I would like to obtain all of the text messages sent to Director General Seo Min-Jung of South Korea from Ambassador Dawn Bennet regarding the Ferry Cancellation as reported in a recent Radio New Zealand article https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/526...

The article mentioned two text messages specifically however, my request is beyond the two text messages and any messages sent and received between the two parties would be greatly appreciated.

This email confirms receipt of your request and advises that we will respond to it as soon as reasonably practicable, and in terms of the timeframes and requirements of the OIA.

Please note that our response letter to you (with your personal details redacted), and any enclosed documents, may be published on the Ministry’s website.

Ngâ mihi

scope of your request. This will help us to more readily provide you  with
 response.  

 

Please note that any clarification or amendment of a request is considered
to be a new request for the purpose of calculating the maximum statutory
timeframe for response (section 15(1AA) of the OIA refers).
