On 17th March, the ANZCham Board and Key Partners held an exclusive high-level dialogue with Hon. Matt Thistlethwaite, Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, during his official visit to the Philippines. This closed-door session served as a vital platform for members to share on-the-ground insights on the evolving business landscape and advocate for enhanced trade facilitation.
Minister Thistlethwaite recently commended ANZCham for its strategic alignment with the Australian Government’s Invested: Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040. By championing the Philippines as a premier business destination, the Chamber has successfully bolstered confidence for new Australian market entrants and unlocked fresh opportunities across our business community. This high-level endorsement reinforces the impact of our collective efforts in driving regional growth and strengthening the economic bridge between our two nations.
