Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment Steven Ciobo says the Australian Government is seeking to grow our trade and investment relationship. The complementary Australia US Business Week and G'Day USA programs highlight our credentials as an innovative, advanced economic partner. We have expanded our support for Australian business on the ground by opening a Consulate General in Houston last year and recently established a new investment promotion office in Boston. Earlier this year, Mr Ciobo met with US Trade Representative Michael Froman and other US political leaders to discuss how we could further strengthen our trade and investment relationship, including by seizing some of the commercial opportunities outlined in this edition of business envoy.
Australian Ambassador to the USA Joe Hockey also outlines his priorities including advocating the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the importance of access to US-run global value chains.
