Māori–Crown relations
Effective and enduring relationships between iwi, other Māori groups and the Crown are critical to enable economic and social development, both for Māori and the wider population. Success is built on partnership, and we will continue to partner with Māori to find sustainable solutions to long standing systemic and cross cutting issues facing Aotearoa New Zealand.
Diversity, equity and inclusion
