NOTE NUMBER: 2010/158
The New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade presents its
Act
compliments to the Permanent Mission of Montenegro to the United Nations
and has the honour to refer to Note no. 285-39/2010 expressing the readiness
of the Government of Montenegro to establish diplomatic relations with
New Zealand and, in this regard, attaching a draft Joint Communiqué.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade understands that the Government of
Information
Montenegro has decided to establish diplomatic representation to New Zealand
through the cross-accreditation of a non-resident Ambassador from Canberra.
The Ministry wishes to acknowledge and support this proposal to lift the existing
diplomatic relations between Montenegro and New Zealand to another level and
Official
so establish: “permanent diplomatic relations.”
the
The Ministry further wishes to inform the Permanent Mission that the Ministry
would welcome a Note Verbale seeking agrément from the New Zealand
under
Government and including the name and curriculum vitae of the nominated
Ambassador-designate. This would follow formal agrément from the Australian
Government (if it has not already been done) of a resident Ambassador to
Australia.
Released
The Ministry also wishes to refer to the draft Joint Communiqué and the
proposal for this to be signed by both Governments in order to establish
diplomatic relations with New Zealand. New Zealand considers diplomatic
relations with other States to be established by friendly contacts of any form
between the two governments such as through multilateral diplomacy at the
United Nations. New Zealand does not sign Communiqués with other States to
formally establish diplomatic relations when it is considered they already exist.
In this regard, the New Zealand Government considers it already has diplomatic
relations with the Government of Montenegro, by virtue of common membership
of, and dealings in, the United Nations. The cross-accreditation of a
non-resident Ambassador from Canberra would then establish formal diplomatic
representation. The Ministry furthermore confirms that the New Zealand
Government at this time is unable to establish a cross accreditation to
Montenegro.
Act
The New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade takes this opportunity to
renew to the Permanent Mission of Montenegro to the United Nations the
assurances of its highest consideration.
