The two Co-Chairs of the Australia-Germany Advisory Group provided an update on the work of the committee. Minister Cormann stated that the Advisory Group had lifted bilateral relations to a new level. Cases in point were the growth in exports and investments, the double taxation agreement, and the establishment of a landing pad for Australian start-ups in Berlin. In their political and strategic relationship the two countries worked as true partners as they thought alike. Minister Cormann said that he aspired for even closer cooperation in the future in the context of Germany’s G20 presidency.
