The Immigration Minister's looking forward to sharing New Zealand's success story, when he speaks at the OECD forum on migration.

Michael Woodhouse is on his way to Paris today, where he joins representatives from 33 other OECD member countries to discuss mobilising migrants' skills for economic success.

Mr Woodhouse will chair the policy forum's second session, which will focus on building public confidence in migration issues.

He says New Zealand offers extremely flexible business immigration policies and a low-regulation business environment, which has contributed to the increase in net migration over the past couple of years.

While overseas, Mr Woodhouse will also travel to Manila where he will visit the Immigration New Zealand Office and meet with Filipino Ministers and officials ahead of the Philippines hosting APEC next year.
