Kelly Zhan (12th Dialogue Delegate)

The Australia China Youth Dialogue (ACYD) provides a wonderful opportunity to connect with and be inspired by emerging leaders who are passionate about contributing to the bilateral relationship in a constructive way. The 12th ACYD coincided with historic talks in Bali and the 50th anniversary of the Australia-China relationship, underscoring the importance of the ACYD mission to promote frequent and meaningful dialogue and cross-cultural exchange. It is an honour to be joining the ACYD alumni network and I encourage those with an interest in the Australia-China relationship to apply.

Helena Chengxu Qin (12th Dialogue Delegate)

The 12th ACYD has successfully brought Australian and Chinese emerging leaders numerous miles together to celebrate the Australia-China 50 years of diplomatic relations, brainstorm emerging global challenges, spot new opportunities and plan for future success. It has also brought in inspirational leaders from the Australian China community to empower us to design for greater impact, especially in restoring social cohesion and economic prosperity post-COVID-19 recovery. This significant dialogue will no doubt enhance the fellowship between our diverse perspectives with the shared mission through mutual support and continuous connection.

Daniel Norman (12th Dialogue Delegate)

I would highly recommend the ACYD to any business leader who wants to better understand how constructive Australia-China relations relate to Australia’s ongoing economic stability and prosperity. The sessions explore much more than just bilateral trade and diplomacy. They challenge delegates to think holistically about how Australia is perceived on the global stage, and how our role and identity in Asia is changing. Humbling and insightful.
