The Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TCCI) and the Australia China Business Council (Tasmanian Branch) (ACBC TAS) today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to formalise a strategic partnership to support Tasmanian businesses in their endeavours to increase trade and investment with China.
The new Partnership between TCCI and ACBC TAS reinforces shared strategic priorities and a continued commitment to working together in the State, as two leading entities in the wider community.
Under the MOU signed by President of ACBC TAS Sir Guy Green and TCCI Chair Susan Parr, ACBC TAS and TCCI aim to implement collaborative programs and share information and expertise. The desired outcomes are supporting activities that will assist in building the Tasmanian economy and lift employment and productivity levels through increased trade and investment with China.
