Visit to India and Thailand
14 November 2022
This week I will travel to India and Thailand to strengthen our bilateral and regional economic engagement.
I will also take the opportunity to showcase Australia as an attractive destination for investment, work and study.
In India, I will lead a cross-sectoral Australian delegation to the Bengaluru Tech Summit and represent Australia at the 3rd Ministerial Conference on Counter-Terrorism Financing in New Delhi.
In Thailand, I will represent Australia at the 2022 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Ministerial Meeting in Bangkok.
I look forward to working with APEC Ministers on ways to strengthen our economies and unlock new sources of growth.
During my visit to Thailand, I will also sign the Australia-Thailand Strategic Economic Cooperation Arrangement (SECA) with His Excellency Mr Sansern Samalapa, Vice Minister of Commerce.
SECA will contribute to strengthening the trade and economic linkages between Australia and Thailand.
I look forward to deepening Australia’s engagement with these important partners.
