Australia and Japan have been firm partners in trade and investment, energy, defence and other areas. We think the bilateral relationship can deepen further in the current climate and expand into exciting new areas. In fact, that’s already occurring with the two countries striking new accords on critical minerals and defence co-operation.
PwC’s Opportunity Knocks series is about looking past the turbulence and the noise to identify areas in which Australia and Japan can collaborate in solving some of the problems of our age in the areas of startups and innovation, critical minerals, decarbonisation and infrastructure and defence.
Progress on these fronts will enhance both nations’ prosperity and security, and contribute to sustainable development on a global level. Broadening the focus of the bilateral relationship to incorporate these elements will bring us even closer together and forge a brighter future for both countries.
