Acting Premier Kevin Foley has announced the appointment of a former Lord Mayor of Adelaide to the part-time positions of Special Envoy to identify further business opportunities between South Australia and China.

The former Lord Mayor of Adelaide, Alfred Huang, has long standing ties to the southern region of China and is well placed to advance the State's trade and investment links with that booming region. 

Mr Huang will seek out Chinese companies wanting to expand in Oceania or who want to establish a base in the region, as well as Chinese entities seeking to invest in Australian companies.

Mr Foley says Mr Huang will also identify new export opportunities for South Australian producers and manufacturers in the Chinese market and provide support to the South Australian Government's trade and investment missions into the Chinese market.
