AUSTRALIA ALOKASIKAN 20 JUTA DOLAR UNTUK "BRANDING"

Pemerintah Australia menggelontorkan dana 20 juta dolar Australia (setara 160 miliar rupiah) dalam empat tahun untuk membangun pencitraan dan "branding" (merek) internasional baru negara itu.

Rencana Australia membangun merek baru yang mempresentasikan energi dan getaran kontemporer Australia kepada dunia itu disampaikan Menteri Perdagangan Simon Crean dalam penjelasan persnya, Rabu.

"Proyek yang menyajikan esensi dan mutu yang kami miliki di berbagai sektor seperti perdagangan, investasi dan pendidikan ini dimaksudkan untuk menjual Australia kepada dunia," katanya.

Crean mengatakan, dengan kreatifitas, kepintaran, dan berbagai prestasi yang dimiliki, termasuk meraih 10 hadiah Nobel, citra global Australia dapat semakin dibangun.

Peluncuran "branding" baru Australia itu akan dilakukan pada Februari 2010. "Acara peluncurannya di tingkat internasional akan dilakukan di arena pameran Shanghai, China, pada Mei 2010," kata Crean.

Selama ini, Australia dikelompokkan dalam negara industri maju dengan nilai perdagangan produk dan jasa per tahun mencapai 454,3 miliar dolar atau setara dengan satu persen dari total nilai perdagangan dunia.

Empat negara mitra utama perdagangan Australia adalah China, Jepang, Amerika Serikat dan Korea Selatan.

About Me

My photo
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Hi, I am a journalist of ANTARA, Indonesia's national news agency whose headquarters is in Jakarta. My fate has brought me back to Australia since March 2007 because my office assigns me to be the ANTARA correspondent there. My first visit to the neighboring country was in 2004 when I did my masters at the School of Journalism and Communication, the University of Queensland (UQ), Brisbane, under the Australian Development Scholarship (ADS) scheme. However, the phase of my life was started from a small town in North Sumatra Province, called Pangkalan Brandan. In that coastal town, I was born and grown up. Having completed my senior high school there in 1987, I moved to Medan to pursue my study at the University of North Sumatra (USU) and obtained my Sarjana (BA) degree in English literature in 1992. My Master of Journalism (MJ) was completed at UQ in July 2005. The final research project report for my MJ degree was entitled "Framing the Australian Embassy Bombing (Jakarta) in Indonesian and Australian Newspapers". Further details about me can be read in a writing posted in my blog entitled "My Life Journey".
