standing as Australia’s 13th largest merchandise trading partner
The event brings together key Indonesian, Australian and ASEAN industry and government
players to identify and analyse major trends, opportunities and challenges in
the mining sector across this fast-growing region.
Australia’s
Trade Commissioner in Jakarta, Julianne Merriman, said that this year’s theme – Australia and ASEAN: Partnering for Performance – signifies how
business people throughout the region are linking with Australian expertise to
improve efficiency and boost productivity.
“Ozmine2013
provides the perfect opportunity to build relationships further and meet new Australian business partner from a wide variety of roles in the mining
sector,” she said. “Australia has a robust mining industry which contributes a sizeable 9% to Australia’s GDP.
"Australia’s miners operate in some of the most remote and harsh conditions
found anywhere in the world. This environment has seen Australia develop the
technologies and services needed to work efficiently within these tough
conditions,” she said.
“Australia
has a strong presence in the planning, development and delivery of a wide range
of world-leading mining equipment, technology and services designed to ensure
mines remain productive, possess high environmental standards and contribute to
economically sustainable development."
