Earlier this week an inspiring publication was launched which celebrates the Australia-China Council's achievements in fostering people-to-people links during the past 40 years was launched. This event and book launch was at the Australian Embassy in Beijing, with ACYD Board member and 2013 Alumna Cindy Gottinger as emcee.
Meeting ACYD is one kind of fate. Amazing and Fantastic.
ACYD 2018 was diverse and dynamic, which brought macro- and micro- perspectives and created an open and pleasant atmosphere to have in-depth discussions on various and important issues in the past four days. I did not realize how much I enjoyed ACYD until I recalled my endless happy memories with my friends back to China. I strongly recommend that more young talents should join ACYD family to grow people-to-people links between our two countries.
On 24th November 2018, the Australia China Alumni Awards were announced at the Westin Beijing Chaoyang Hotel. Lisa Qin, a 2013 alumna of ACYD was awarded winner of the category AIDE – Young Australia China Alumni of the Year Award. Congratulations Lisa!
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！
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.
A group of ‘30 under 40’ ambitious Australians and Chinese will descend on Melbourne this week to participate in a young leaders’ forum, backed by major sponsors including Swisse and the Australian Government’s Australia-China Council.
