NSW Minister for Industry and Trade Anoulack Chanthivong is in China, leading a delegation of over 50 NSW businesses and senior NSW government representatives to the 30th NSW–Guangdong Joint Economic Meeting (JEM) in Guangzhou.
Several Shoalhaven and Southern Highland businesses are taking part:
- Alka Power, based in Bowral
- Probev International, based in Berry
- Bega Group, based in Bega
- University of Wollongong
The JEM is the cornerstone of NSW’s 46-year sister-state relationship with Guangdong, China’s largest provincial economy, and an important biennial opportunity to meet with senior Guangdong Government representatives to exchange views on bilateral cooperation, including trade.
As part of the mission, the Minister will travel alongside NSW Governor Margaret Beazley and Speaker of the NSW Legislative Assembly Greg Piper to meet with government and industry leaders, attend site visits, engage with NSW businesses and potential investors in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Hong Kong. These engagements will strengthen relationships and create new opportunities for NSW businesses.
