“LNG19 gives me the opportunity to highlight Western Australia’s continuing emergence as an LNG hub for the Asia-Pacific region,” the premier said.

“WA is ready and able to take the next step as a global energy hub and the LNG industry should choose WA as their place of investment, so they can leverage off our state’s unique advantages.

“We have a world-class workforce that possesses the skills and capabilities required by the sector and a long track record in successfully delivering the world’s largest resource projects.”

The Shanghai conference is expected to attract more than 11,000 delegates from more than 80 countries.

The previous conference was held in Perth in 2016.
