A day after an Indian origin man was racially abused in New Zealand, its envoy in New Delhi on Tuesday condemned the incident and said the country does not condone race-based abuse in any form. “New Zealand does not condone race-based abuse in any form. The comments reported do not reflect the views of the vast majority of New Zealanders, who celebrate and embrace New Zealand’s diversity and multicultural character. This is borne out by New Zealand’s strong track on human rights matters, where New Zealand is ranked first globally for tolerance for immigrants, community safety, and religious tolerance in the 2016 Social Progress Index (SPI). Nearly 90 per cent of migrants in New Zealand say they feel they belong to New Zealand and the vast majority of New Zealand citizens believe the country's culture, society and economy are improved by immigrants,” said Suzannah Jessep, acting New Zealand High Commissioner to India.
