Our relationship with Austria

New Zealand and Austria have a warm and enduring relationship. We share many common interests and values, including a strong commitment to multilateralism. We work closely together on international peace and security, disarmament and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, UN Security Council reform and human rights issues.

While the Austrian community in New Zealand is small, past residents have had a significant impact on New Zealand’s cultural life. These include Ferdinand von Hochstetter, known as ‘the father of New Zealand geology’, architect Ernst Plischke, and philosopher Karl Popper, who both lived in New Zealand during World War II, as well as artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, who made his home in New Zealand in the 1970s.
