I am pleased to convey my heartiest Eid Mubarak Greetings on the auspicious occasion of Eid.
Eid marks the end of Ramadhan. This is an occasion for thanksgiving, forgiveness and openness of the mind. It is a time for family and friends to gather and celebrate.
The National-led Government under the leadership of Hon John Key is committed to making New Zealand a better place for you and your families to live in.
National has listened to your concerns about law and order and we are taking a number of steps to ensure our communities are safer, including putting 600 more police officers on the beat.
We’re also working to attract the right business migrants to New Zealand and create more jobs for Kiwis.
Recently we introduced our revamped business migrant package which aims to boost our economic performance by making New Zealand more attractive for business and entrepreneurial migrants.
We’ve streamlined the categories for investor migrants, with more realistic requirements for capital, language skills and time spent in New Zealand annually, and introduced the Entrepreneur Plus category to complement the existing Entrepreneur category. This will offer a faster path to residence for applicants who create at least 3 fulltime jobs and invest $500,000 in their business.
I’m proud to be a part of a National-led Government under the leadership of Hon John Key, that’s working to secure a brighter future for all New Zealanders.
I hope you all enjoy celebrating Eid.
