Asian integration a key part of Australia’s economic transition (Shiro Armstrong, East Asia Forum)

Australia, as in the past, has the potential to play a role in shaping the Asian economic cooperation agenda in a way that deepens regional economic linkages and lifts the growth potential of Asian economies.
