Australia and Canada – connected by shared values, free trade and a bond as iconic as #MapleSyrup and Vegemite 🇦🇺🇨🇦

Wonderful to catch up with my Canadian counterpart, High Commissioner Julie Sunday, during her recent visit to Ottawa. We discussed the strong partnership between our nations - and our mutual love of maple syrup and Vegemite.

@Vegemite @JCSunday @canadadownunder @dfat @CanadaFP @MSidhuLiberal @DFAT_TradeTalk @Austrade When I lived in Melbourne as a Canadian 🇨🇦 , I learned you had to look very carefully at the bottles...maple flavoured syrup looks like maple syrup. 🍁 while there, I had a desert with fresh whipped cream mixed with maple syrup. Oh so good...
