New Zealand authorities have yet to meet Kiwi Mark Taylor face-to-face, a month after his capture in Pakistan.
Mr Taylor, 35, was detained by Pakistani security forces on February 11 after trying to enter a tribal region on the Afghan border, identified as a Taliban and al Qaeda stronghold, without permission.
A spokesman for Foreign Minister Murray McCully told NZPA today that New Zealand's embassy in Tehran, also accredited to Pakistan, had established that Mr Taylor was in good health but had not yet been allowed to meet him.
Embassy representatives had spoken to Pakistan's foreign ministry and been told that the investigation into Mr Taylor's activities was continuing.
The spokesman said Mr Taylor had no particular complaints about the conditions in which he was being kept. Pakistani intelligence sources have said they suspect the New Zealander might have links with Islamist militants. Mr Taylor, who was wearing traditional Pakistan dress, told authorities he was going to South Waziristan to get married to a tribal woman.
Mr Taylor's family has said it does not want to make any public comment about his detention.
