On 1 October (Australia, and 30 September in Cook Islands) the Australia Pacific Islands Business Council signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Cook Islands Chamber of Commerce, recognising the common goal of both parties to support and promote inclusive economic development and employment growth in Cook Islands.
We look forward to working closely with the Chamber to further developing the bilateral business relationship between Australia and Cook Islands.
