This week, Minister Collins will travel to Peru to represent Australia at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Ministerial Meeting, from 13 to 14 November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At APEC, Minister Collins will champion Australia\u2019s priorities of bolstering digital and services trade, promoting a move towards paperless trade, the economic empowerment of women and Indigenous Peoples, and advancing APEC\u2019s work on environmentally sustainable economic development, including in agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister Collins will also meet with ministerial counterparts to progress Australia\u2019s trade and investment agenda and emphasise our commitment to the rules-based multilateral trade system with the World Trade Organization at its core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
APEC is our region\u2019s premier economic forum, bringing together 21 member economies that account for around 75 per cent of Australia’s total trade in goods and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For over 30 years, APEC has been a vital force for promoting open and inclusive rules-based trade and practical, market-oriented regulatory reform in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia’s participation in APEC strengthens our economic relationships and supports new export opportunities. Trade diversification is a key plank of the Albanese Labor Government\u2019s trade agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia values its strong and growing relationship with Peru which is underpinned by the Peru-Australia Free Trade Agreement (PAFTA), likeminded approach to trade, growing people-to-people links and strong commercial engagement\u2014particularly in the mining sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
