Australia, New Zealand to fast track single economic market agenda

Both sides agreed to coordinate regional and global trade engagement, including joint action on World Trade Organization (WTO) reforms ahead of the upcoming Ministerial Conference, and collaboration through various multilateral agreements, a joint statement issued after the meeting said.

New Zealand Trade and Investment Minister Todd McClay and Australian Trade and Tourism Minister Don Farrell concluded meeting in in Monarto, South Australia.

“This is about making it simpler for businesses to trade, invest and grow, not just between our two countries but across the wider region,” McClay said.
