c. Barriers and impediments to trade and investment;
d. Opportunities to expand trade and investment;

g. The role of Australian based companies in promoting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals; and
h. Any related matters.
The Committee has called for public submissions and we would welcome your comments. Submissions can be made directly to the Australian Committee Secretariat for the Senate Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade. Submissions to the inquiry close on 18 August 2017, with findings released on 14 February 2018.
