"Jerry Mateparae, with whom I have had considerable contact, is an excellent choice. His record of leadership with the New Zealand Defence Force at a time of considerable change is distinguished and he will bring many fine qualities to the role of Governor-General".
Sir Anand will complete his five year term on 23 August 2011.
