INTERNATIONAL TRADE

Compiled by Cristina Lee, Times staff writer

Australian-American Council: A group of business people is forming an organization for Australian and American entrepreneurs next month in hopes of increasing U.S.-Australian trade. The group, Costa Mesa-based Australian American Network Council, will be Orange County’s first Australian-American business organization.

The council already has 30 members--two-thirds are Australian expatriates and a third are Americans, said John W. Pearce, the council’s president.

The council is a nonprofit organization and will charge $30 for membership, he said. John Kelso, the Australian consul general in Los Angeles, will launch the organization May 21, he added.
