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.

Deshuai Wang (2018 Delegate)

参加中澳青年对话（ACYD）是一段美妙的历程。这次对话活动既倡导了深层次多维度的思维碰撞，又精心设置了许多令人充分体验澳洲美好和促进团队合作的多彩环节。几天来的思想激荡和头脑风暴，使我对澳大利亚的政治、文化，特别是在各个领域实现中澳合作的探索，有了更为深刻的理解和启发。很荣幸能加入到ACYD大家庭中，拥有不同专业背景的我们来自于五湖四海，不过我们都有着促进中澳友好合作的共同目标。我相信在不远的将来，多种行业互动与多维人际推广之下，中澳关系必将迎来新的发展篇章！

Catherine O'Keefe (2018 Delegate)

The Australia China Youth Dialogue provides a wonderful platform for young leaders from across the Asia-Pacific to come together and discuss the ever evolving bilateral relationship enjoyed by Australia and China. The 2018 program was thought provoking, relevant and was presented by eminent leaders in their respective fields. The ACYD will stay with all delegates, long into the future, as it fosters connections between like-minded people and that is its greatest legacy.

Wesa Chau: The ALP is in desperate need of a cultural shift

While branch stacking remains a major problem, it is concerning when some in the party persist in assuming that members from ethnic and culturally diverse backgrounds are nothing but stacks. This is not to say that exploitation of ethnic voting blocs by cynical politicians (often not even from that community) doesn't still occur. My concern is that suspicion is cast on anyone with a non-European name seeking to join the ALP as a result.

The ACYD Board and Management Team worked energetically over the year to bring together another outstanding group to explore future directions, challenges and possibilities at the eighth ACYD, held in Beijing from 15-18 September 2017.
