Australian trade minister to visit Kunming
Australian Trade Minister Simon Crean will be visiting Kunming this week as part of a trade mission that will also take him to Shanghai and Wuhan. While in Kunming, Crean will open an Australian Architecture and Design Exhibition and will also work to promote Australian participation in upcoming infrastructure projects.

"Australia is seeking to diversify and deepen our strong trading relationship with China into new sectors such as architecture and design, green-building, environmental management and sustainable development," Crean said in a statement reprinted on Nasdaq.com.

In addition to architecture and infrastructure, he will discuss Australian trade and investment with customers and investors in Yunnan's agribusiness sector. In recent years China and Australia have been in slowgoing discussions regarding a free trade agreement.
