(BEIJING, May 23) -- Tu Mingde, assistant to the president of the Beijing
Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) met with
visiting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Australian Trade Commission
(Austrade) Peter O'Byrne on Tuesday.
The two sides exchanged views on the business promotion activities in Beijing
during the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
A statutory agency within the Foreign Affairs and Trade portfolio, the
commission helps Australian companies to enter and develop international
markets, by providing advice, market intelligence and support to them.
The Austrade organized a number of business promotions on the occasion of the
2000 Sydney Olympic Games. For instance, it invited foreign companies to watch
the Olympic competitions together with their Australian counterparts, or hosted
parties or gatherings during or after the Games.
