50TH ANNIVERSARY SOUVENIR BOOK I AUSTRALIA - JAPAN JOINT BUSINESS CONFERENCE 201284

AcknowledgementsThe historical documentation of the Australia Japan Business Co-operation Committee (AJBCC) is held in the Noel Butlin Archive at the Australian National University (ANU), Canberra. Researchers will need to seek approval before being able to access more sensitive materials. Unless attributed the photographs are from the resources of the AJBCC and JABCC.

The quality of the archived material re�lects the commitment to the furtherance of the bilateral relationship by past Presidents, Executive Committees and the AJBCC membership and of their JABCC counterparts. The foresight and courage of those bureaucrats and politicians of the mid-�ifties whom envisaged and negotiated the Australia-Japan Agreement on Commerce of 1957 have been maintained over subsequent decades by the

Given the almost negligible command of Nihongo held by the present and past AJBCC secretariats, the patience and cooperation of the counterpart JABCC secretariats have been greatly appreciated.

The cooperation of and collaboration with the Australia Japan Research Centre (AJRC) at the ANU and other prominent academics; the Australia Japan Foundation (AJF); and the Australian New Zealand Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ANZCCJ) has been a feature of the decades.
