Overview
The COVID-19 pandemic and complexity in Australia-China relations provides a rationale for greater economic engagement with Asia. Diversifying our trade partnerships is now an economic and geostrategic necessity and priority should be given to building stronger business connectivity with Japan, Indonesia, Viet Nam, Korea and India.
The report, a joint project by Asia Society Australia and the Business Council of Australia’s Asia Taskforce, with knowledge partners PwC Australia and the University of Sydney Business School, provides a blueprint for Australia to successfully compete in the region.
The Taskforce believes that implementation of these actions will considerably enhance Australia’s chances of success in Asia:
- Adopt a “Team Australia” approach
- Play to our strengths
- Learn to navigate a more complex China
- Reboot Asia literacy
- Champion our rich Asia talent
The Asia Taskforce makes 24 recommendations for business, academia and government which, if implemented, will improve Australia's competitive position in the region.
