Remarks by Mr Peter OSBORNE Senior Trade Commissioner Australian Trade Commission Hong Kong

Postmaster General K L TSANG, distinguished guests, ladies and gentleman,

It really is a great pleasure for me to be here at this afternoon's ceremony to mark this excellent initiative between Hongkong Post and Australia Post for their International Fulfilment Service for Australian products into Hong Kong.

Australia is a world leader in producing a diverse range of natural products. We have products that can make you more beautiful, make you more healthy, make you more happy - that's our wines - all produced from materials and ingredients sourced from Australia's clean natural environment and manufactured under stringent government regulated quality control systems.

As noted by Postmaster General TSANG, Hong Kong residents can now very easily access these quality Australian products, delivered directly to your door, through Hongkong Post's International Fulfillment Service.

At the other end of the product delivery pipeline, Australia Post provides a streamlined product sourcing service from Australian suppliers. Australia Post is one of the most efficient postal services in the world and I think you'll agree that their slogan of "We Deliver" is evident in this unique Australian product fulfillment service.

The Australian Trade Commission has been a strong supporter of both Australia Post and Hongkong Post in this initiative. We will be continuing to work closely with both postal services, particularly in expanding the range of products available from Australian companies through the International Fulfillment Service.

I know that you came here to try the products rather than to listen to me speak, so I will finish my remarks by offering my congratulations to Hongkong Post on today's launch and encourage you to all make yourselves happier and healthier with these excellent Australian products.

Thank you.
