Invitation to the Government of New Zealand to Accede to the Convention on the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development.

Paris: O.E.C.D., 1971. Hardcover. May 15th 1973 signed facsimile of the Paris agreement for New Zealand to join the OECD, printed in French and English. As the New Zealand immigration website states, "Over the last 30 years our economy has gone from being one of the most regulated in the OECD to one of the least regulated, most free-market based economies. Fertile soil and excellent growing conditions coupled with sophisticated farming methods and advanced agricultural technology provide the ideal environment for pastoral, forestry and horticulture activities. Various primary commodities account for around half of all goods exports and New Zealand is one of the top five dairy exporters in the world."

The deputy secretary general of the OECD at the time New Zealand joined was an American, Benson Ellison Lane Timmons, who served in that role from 1967 to 1974.
