MINISTER’S FOREWORD
The US–Australia bilateral relationship is often
characterised by how both countries fought side by side
in the Second World War, or by today’s strong bilateral
cooperation on defense and security for world peace.
What is often overlooked is that Australians have a
long history of investing in the US, and welcoming US
investment onto our shores. Our businesses, big and
small, are known in the US for our talent and services
across scores of industries, from IT services to wine
production, mining and finance.
