Description:
- The Morrison Government has today launched a new $4.5 million program to help developing countries in the Indo-Pacific maximise the benefits of digital trade. Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment Simon Birmingham said the ‘E-commerce Aid for Trade Fund’ would have a major focus on building e-commerce capacity and capability across the Indo-Pacific, including within the ASEAN region. “Digital trade is an increasingly important way for our region to connect and do business with the rest of the world,” Minister Birmingham said.
