Two NSW business offices in China will win investment and trade for the State despite the global economic crisis, Minister for State Development Ian Macdonald said.
Minister for State Development Ian Macdonald launches the NSW Government Business Office in Guangzhou
“China is a key market for NSW and that’s why it’s important for us to have an in-market presence there especially in these difficult economic times,” Mr Macdonald said after the launch of NSW Government Business Offices in Guangzhou and Shanghai.
“The new offices give us the capacity to build awareness of Sydney’s and NSW’s strengths in financial services, infrastructure and construction, education and tourism services and as a source of world-class products and services.
Minister Macdonald said Guangzhou and Shanghai were chosen because they are both major business centres in China and give NSW access to a range of opportunities.
Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong – NSW established a sister-state relationship with Guangdong Province 30 years ago.
NSW offices will be established in Mumbai in India and in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates later in the year.
