The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade will launch the new Africa Strategy at the Forum. The Strategy seeks to identify opportunities to build on forty years of development experience, to adopt a more coherent approach to our relations with African countries and to build on our positive relationship to expand engagement in areas of mutual interest including enhanced political and trade relations.
