國泰航空將在新西蘭夏季旅遊旺季期間，將基督城至香港航線增至每星期五班，從而增強南島的旅遊選擇，並提升全球互聯互通。

這季節性航線將於2026年11月至2027年3月期間每星期有三班航班，而12月至2月增加至每星期五班。

基督城機場行政總裁賈斯汀·沃森表示，此次航班增加反映了南島強勁的市場需求，並將為出口商帶來更多機遇，新增的腹艙貨運能力將有助於優質農產品例如車厘子、海鮮和凍肉等的運輸。

Cathay Pacific will increase its Christchurch–Hong Kong service to five flights a week during the peak New Zealand summer months, strengthening South Island travel options and global connectivity.

The seasonal route will operate three times weekly from November 2026 to March 2027, increasing to five flights from December to February.

Christchurch Airport Chief Executive Justin Watson said the expansion reflects strong South Island demand and will boost opportunities for exporters, with added belly‑freight capacity supporting premium produce such as cherries, seafood and chilled meat.

The seasonal service will operate three times a week between 1 November 2026 and 27 March 2027, increasing to five weekly flights from December through February to meet strong seasonal demand.

如果你十五年前在新西蘭，也許還記得那部浪漫喜劇電影《我的婚禮和其他秘密》。

米歇爾 . 洪是第一位在新西蘭擔任電影主角的亞裔演員，她在2011年演出這部電影，之後在表演、製片和導演領域繼續發展。 2019年米歇爾創立了「一粒米製作公司」（A Grain of Rice Productions），致力於從亞裔移民的視角發展電影和電視劇製作。她同時也是泛亞銀幕協集（Pan Asian Screen Collective）的董事會成員，代表新西蘭亞裔影視從業者，包括編劇、導演、演員和製片人，在政策層面為他們爭取權益，並為他們創造專業的發展途徑。

總領事陸德很高興在新西蘭官邸舉辦了一場非正式的酒會，讓米歇爾有機會與電影和創意產業的人士交流。

If you were in New Zealand fifteen years ago you may recall the romantic comedy movie ‘My Wedding and Other Secrets.’

Michelle Ang, the first Asian New Zealander to lead a feature film, starred in this film in 2011 and has gone on to have an extensive acting, producing and directing career. Michelle also founded ‘A Grain of Rice Productions’ in 2019 to develop and produce film and television stories from Asian diaspora perspectives. She also sits on the board of the Pan Asian Screen Collective, which represents Pan-Asian screen practitioners in New Zealand, including writers, directors, actors and producers, advocating for them at a policy level and creating pathways for professional development.

Consul-General Peter Lund was delighted to host informal drinks at the New Zealand residence bringing Michelle together with contacts in the film and creative industries.
