The Tonga Chamber of Commerce has strengthened its ties with its Australian counterparts by establishing the Tonga - Australia Chamber of Commerce (TACC).
The TACC was established following a successful visit to Australia by the Tonga Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TCCI) and Tongan business operators in March this year. The delegation met with Chambers of Commerce in New South Wales and Queensland.
The visit has supported closer working relationships between businesses in ...Australia and Tonga and will support Tonga's effective participation in the PACER Plus agreement recently signed here in Tonga.
The Tonga High Commission in Canberra and Tonga Consulate office in Sydney collaborated to establish the TACC.
