New chair for foreign investment board

He replaces former ASIO head David Irvine who died last week, aged 75.  

The body advises the treasurer and the government on Australia's foreign investment policy.

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said the board plays an important role in helping to ensure foreign investment only occurs where it is in Australia's national interest.

Mr Miller has had a career in international relations spanning more than 30 years, including a stint as Australian ambassador to Japan from 2011 to 2017.
