Dear Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade,

The Australian Government announced on 24 June 2015 in the Treasurer's press release "Australia to join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank" that "The Treasurer will attend the Articles of Agreement signing ceremony at the Great Hall of the People, Beijing on Monday 29 June."

Is it possible to provide the following:

- "full powers" for Australia's representative to sign the Articles of Agreement of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.

(Considering past requests to DFAT, I explain here that "full powers" is standard terminology which refers to a document that a head of state, a head of government, or the foreign minister, authorises someone else to sign or conclude a treaty on the state's behalf. Whether or not the document contains the term "full powers" in its heading for instance is really for the state to decide, which is Australia in this request. Also, this request is about the 'full powers' for "signature" of the Articles of Agreement by Australia.)

Thank yous!

Yours faithfully,
Tyler
