Economy—trade mission
Ministerial statement
MR BARR (Molonglo—Deputy Chief Minister, Treasurer, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Sport and Recreation, Minister for Tourism and Events and Minister for Community Services) (10.00): I ask leave to make a ministerial statement concerning the Indonesia-Singapore economic development mission.
Leave granted.
MR BARR: I would like to make a brief statement on my recent six-day visit to Indonesia and Singapore, which commenced on 21 April in Jakarta.
Madam Speaker, the two legs of the mission had quite different objectives. Jakarta was a traditional trade development mission, while the two-day visit to Singapore was focused on tourism and in-bound investment. The trade mission to Indonesia—which I believe is the first ACT government-led mission of its type—was themed around the ACT’s significant competitive strengths in areas of international education, knowledge-intensive business services, ICT services and expertise in public administration.
Twelve ACT companies participated in the mission, along with the University of Canberra, the Australian National University, the Australian Catholic University Canberra campus and the Canberra Institute of Technology. The mission provided an opportunity for ACT businesses to build new markets for their products and services
