9251 (2025). Ricardo Menéndez March to the Minister of Foreign Affairs: Further to WPQ 7069 (2025), what is being exported to Saudi Arabia and by who?

Rt Hon Winston Peters: I am advised that since 1 March 2024, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade granted two export permits to Saudi Arabia. The permits were for telecommunication and information security goods and technologies, and marine goods and technologies. It is not in the public interest to release exporter details to avoid commercial prejudice.
