Today we announce Australian support for the World Economic Forum's (WEF) 'Grow Asia' partnership, developed in collaboration with the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) Secretariat.
"Under this new $8 million partnership, Australia will work closely with the WEF and ASEAN to drive pro-poor economic growth in our region", Ms Bishop said.
"By bringing together business, government and other key stakeholders, Grow Asia will increase the scale and impact of agribusiness ventures in South East Asia, linking small-scale farmers in ASEAN economies to regional and global markets", Mr Robb said.
