Asia Business Focus - Who We Are


		Who Are We? Asia Business Focus is a group of businesses that seeks a positive result for Australian business from the Australia-China, Australia-Japan and Australia-South Korea free trade agreements. The group's activities include advocacy, communication, research and representation. The group believes that free trade agreements (FTAs) provide an opportunity to reduce the cost of doing business and expand business opportunities. FTAs can increase certainty of trade and investment and lower commercial risk by providing rights enforceable in international law for foreign companies to trade, invest and operate in foreign markets. The group believes the breadth of coverage in FTAs depends on the willingness of the negotiating parties.
