Australian Embassy representatives from Washington, D.C., arrived in Pima County on October 30 for a roundtable discussion. Beyond merely exchanging diplomatic greetings, the purpose of this meeting was to promote cooperation and investigate prospects in a number of sectors, including manufacturing, aerospace and defense, and clean and renewable energy. According to a recent news release from Pima County, the main focus was on using Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to fortify economic relationships.
Some well-known names were among the representatives representing Australia. The team examining the possibility of ideas and investments being shared between the United States and Australia included Amanda Wormald, Counselor for Climate and Energy, and Cameron Hunter, Senior Research Officer in the Trade Branch for the Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade. They were joined in the discussion by regional partners like the Arizona Commerce Authority, Pima County Economic Development, and organizations from the commercial and academic sectors. For example, Tucson Electric Power and the University of Arizona also contributed their opinions.
Although the meeting’s precise results aren’t yet clear, it is anticipated that this type of global interaction will result in much more than a few business card exchanges and handshakes. We know from history that collaborations such as this may result in the creation of jobs, the sharing of technology, and a strong economic foundation for local growth.
As these commercial and diplomatic negotiations progress, they reflect a growing trend of seeking trade and cooperation with countries other than our immediate neighbors. Opportunities in fields like clean energy are particularly alluring because of the industry’s ongoing worldwide appeal. It is clear that forming long-lasting and progressive partnerships for the future is more important than focusing solely on financial gain, as both Australian representatives and regional Pima organizations appear to understand the advantages that both parties stand to gain.
