Australia to stage Trade 2020 forums16 July 2009The Australian Minister for Trade, Simon Crean, has announced Trade 2020, a series of high-level forums to generate ideas and vision for Australia’s ongoing commercial engagement with the world. He said that these forums will explore critical themes to better position Australia for success in trade and investment. “The global economic crisis – including the dangers of a return to protectionism – together with the challenge of climate change and the resulting global opportunities, means that we need to continually review and reassess our approach to Australia’s international commercial engagement,” Mr Crean said.

Trade 2020 is being jointly organised by Austrade and the Committee for Economic Development (CEDA), and supported by the Export Finance and Insurance Corporation (EFIC).
