The Australia-China Youth Dialogue (ACYD) could not operate without the generous support of its partners. Through their contribution to the ACYD, our partner organisations demonstrate a commitment to nurturing a community of active, visible and connected figures in Australia-China affairs.

This year’s delegates are emerging leaders coming from a wide range of professions – policymakers, analysts, technologists, senior managers, creatives, academics and entrepreneurs. They will come together in Chengdu, China for a 4 day dialogue, bringing with them their experience and expertise from various fields to discuss issues pertinent to the future of the Australia China relationship. 

The Australia China Youth Dialogue is excited to announce that it will host the 13th Australia-China Youth Dialogue in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, from Friday 17 November to Monday 20 November 2023. 

中澳青年对话非常高兴地宣布，第十三届对话将于2023年11月17日（星期五）至11月20日（星期一）于中国四川省成都市举行。


The enclosed report provides an overview of the 11th and 12th ACYD events, which took place inHobart, Tasmania, and Perth, Western Australia, in May and November 2022, respectively. Unique tothis year, two dialogues were conducted due to interruptions caused by COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021.

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.

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.

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.

The Australia-China Youth Dialogue could not operate without the generous support of its partners.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the following partners for their support in realising the 12th Australia-China Youth Dialogue in Perth.
