China - Western Australia Strategic Dialogue 2023
Western Australian Premier – Hon Mark McGowan visited China for a historic five-day mission to reconnect Western Australia with its largest trading partner and strengthen partnerships with key government and industry leaders. This annual symposium has proved to be a valuable platform for participants to share their views on doing business in Western Australia and the successes and challenges they have encountered. It is the Premier’s first trip to China in four years.

They have formed a consensus and will further discuss what can be done to facilitate the project.
