Queensland see's itself as Australia's Pacific state. With the Pacific Islands only a 1.5 hour flight away, its close proximity opens up trade and investment opportunities for both Queensland and the Pacific.
Queensland is committed to the region and will drive international trade and investment – with both legacy and sustainability. The Trade Commissioner will discuss the ways that Queensland is engaging with the Pacific, working with 'Team Australia', the opportunities and delivering on the Pacific trade strategy.
