Kunming and Chengdu Delegation organised by AustCham Myanmar and AustCham West China in collaboration with Austrade

 

AustCham Myanmar in cooperation with AustCham West China, and supported by Austrade, is seeking expressions of interest to join a delegation of Australian companies and members based in Myanmar, to visit Chengdu and Kunming.

The proposed dates for the visit are from 23 - 27 April 2019 - this time frame will allow for a 72 hour visa on arrival to be obtained for entry in to China. Estimated cost to join the delegation is USD$1,500- $2,000 per attendee including return economy airfares Yangon-Kunming-Chengdu-Kunming-Yangon, accommodation, attendance at business networking events, site visits and meetings with industry peers in Chengdu and Kunming.

Sichuan and Yunnan are key and growing sources of trade and investment with Myanmar under the Belt and Road Initiative and there are opportunities for AustCham Myanmar members to collaborate with Chinese companies as these links grow. Facilitation will be arranged with the assistance of Austrade and AustCham West China which should make for highly productive discussions.

The program will target Chengdu and Kunming companies that have current or potential interests in Myanmar. Depending on industries represented by delegates, these may include Yunnan Construction Group, West Hope and Sichuan Development Group. Focus sectors will be tailored according to members’ interests but could include agribusiness, mining, energy and infrastructure. The program will also include engagement with Australian Government and AustCham representatives in West China to provide insights on local market conditions and opportunities.

Please respond by 11 March 2019 if you are interested to join this delegation. We will then be in contact with interested parties to work on tailoring an agenda and further costings.

This delegation is open to members of AustCham Myanmar. If you are interested in joining up as a member please contact us at info@austchammyanmar.com
