THE Japan External Trade Organisation was in Perth last week to support a new paper highlighting the importance of Japan to WA exporters.
At the launch, State Development Minister Clive Brown said the aim of the Hyogo and Kansai-Western Australia Trade and Investment Initiatives Paper was to broaden and leverage off the 22-year sister-State relationship with Hyogo Prefecture. Jetro will be back in Perth in May to deliver an export clinic program to coincide with the Australian Innovation Festival 2003 at Technology Park in Bentley.
Later this year, Technology Park will be taking a trade mission to the Japanese region, which will be followed by a ministerial trade mission.
