This strictly Members Only event is an exclusive opportunity to network with the new government including federal Ministers and senior officials at the heart of the Australian Government charged with the major public policy decisions driving the Sino-Australian trade and investment relationship. Dialogue is anticipated to include the Free Trade Agreement, the New Colombo Plan and educational exchange, infrastructure and agricultural investment and more.
Members can expect to hear from a wide range of officials from several portfolios including Prime Minister and Cabinet, Treasury, Foreign Affairs and Trade, Industry as well as forecasts from senior Government economists on the outlook for bilateral trade and investment across industry. Senior business leaders are also expected to participate.
This popular event is a highlight of the Sino-Australian calendar and is typically a sell out. With a new Government and with the PM confirmed to participate, places are expected to sell out quickly. Places will be filled on a first come first served basis once the formal invitation is issued to members. We therefore encourage you to save the date in your diary now. Further details and the formal invitation to register will be provided within the coming fortnight.
