Agreements

 The Queensland Government develops and maintains international relationships in order to facilitate positive economic, social, cultural and environmental outcomes for Queensland. 

These relationships can be expressed in a variety of ways, including: 

• Memoranda of Understanding

Many of Queensland's relationships with international governments and organisations are formalised by signing an agreement.

• Joint Statements

Joint Statements are a more informal way of affirming international relationships.

The Queensland Government also works with local government, research and educational institutions, and other organisations to complement and maximise opportunities from Sister-City Agreements, institution to institution and other international collaborative agreements.  Information on Sister-City Agreements can be sought from individual councils.
