ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥

Pro Vice-Chancellor (International), Professor Jacqueline Lo, recently participated in a roundtable with the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, hosted by the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n Chamber of Commerce in Korea.

Chaired by the AKBC Chairman the Hon Simon Crean and co-chaired by AustChamKorea Chairman Chris Raciti, the roundtable included an update on the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥-Korea trade and investment relationship. Minister Birmingham shared his insights on the impact of COVID-19 on ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥â€™s trade with North Asia and specifically on the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥-Korea economic relationship. The Minister also outlined key lessons ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ has learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, and new and emerging opportunities for ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n businesses that may arise from changing dynamics in the Indo-Pacific region and the changing world in which we live.

In response to Professor Lo's question about encouraging Korean students to study in ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, the minister emphasised that high-value tertiary education, and the safety and security of residing in ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, as well as generous post-study work rights, are all distinctive appeal factors of an ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n study experience.

Other participants of the roundtable included:

• ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n Made (AMCL)
