Regular bilateral minerals and energy consultations at senior official level are conducted by the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism (RET) with Australia's major trading partners and other stakeholders. These consultations aim to identify and facilitate commercial opportunities for Australian business.
Australia's participation in these bilateral consultations and other key multilateral fora provides an important role in supporting economic prosperity and enhancing key objectives to maximise export opportunities for Australia's minerals and energy commodities, products, technologies and services.
