New Zealand (MNZ) is calling on all recent immigrant communities across Aotearoa New Zealand to participate in ANZAC Day services this Friday, 25 April to honour the sacrifices of all who served.

Pancha Narayanan, President of MNZ, emphasised the importance of collective remembrance, “Every fallen soldier served with courage and conviction. Their sacrifice was not just for a nation, but for humanity. It is our shared duty to honour them for their noble commitment.”

“Our forebears stood shoulder to shoulder with ANZAC troops in Gallipoli and beyond,” stated Mr Narayanan. “Their service is a testament to shared values, courage, sacrifice, and unity. As immigrants, we honour their legacy by participating in ANZAC Day services.”

“As we gather to honour the ANZACs, let us also acknowledge the legacy of the Māori Battalion and the spirit of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, a covenant that reminds us of our shared commitment to partnership, protection, and participation in this land we now all call home,” added Mr Narayanan.

MNZ urges all communities to attend local Dawn and Civic Services. Information on services can be found at:

“Let us come together to remember the fallen and reaffirm our commitment to peace and unity in our diverse nation,” Mr Narayanan concluded.
