"The Parliamentary Secretary for Defence Procurement, the Hon Greg Combet MP, officially launched the Defence Export Unit at the Pacific 2008 International Maritime exposition.
Mr Combet said that “the Defence Export Unit will work closely with Australian defence companies planning to enter the defence export market and will continue to support those companies that have already broken into overseas defence markets”.
“The DEU demonstrates the Government’s commitment to working with Australian defence industry and it will make a real difference to the volume and value of Australian defence exports”. The Unit’s work will include identifying future overseas opportunities for Australian defence companies and coordinating with other Australian Government agencies including Austrade."
