20th Dec 2014,
Dear friends
I send to you my warmest greetings as you celebrate the seventy fifth anniversary of the founding of ICCIC-Gung Ho in 1939.
New Zealand is very proud of its association with ICCIC- Gung Ho through our direct connection with New Zealand born Rewi Alley. It is clear that he made an outstanding contribution to the life of many workers in China through his commitment to education, to the labour market and to economicendeavour.
I congratulate those of you who continue to champion some of the things he held dear and I wish you well as you celebrate your seventy five years of effort with this cause.
With my respect and sincere regards,
Dame Jenny Shipley
Former Prime Minister of New Zealand
