The event saw participation from CPA Australia s Global President, Professor Dale Pinto FCPA, and other representatives from both countries. During the opening ceremony, Professor Pinto highlighted the mutual benefits of trade in services between the two nations. In 2023, China emerged as Australia s largest services export partner, with a surge in the value of Australian services exports to China by over A$5 billion.
