The Australia-China High Level Dialogue, which brings together representatives from industry, government, academia, media and the arts, will be held in Adelaide this week.
The Dialogue, which was established in 2014, is another opportunity to progress discussions across the breadth of Australia and China’s relationship, including on trade and investment, cultural ties, and regional and international security.
Former Trade Minister, the Hon Dr Craig Emerson, will co-chair the Dialogue as head of the Australian delegation.
Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Ms Jan Adams AO PSM, and Australia’s Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China, Mr Scott Dewar will also participate as delegates.
Former Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Hon Julie Bishop, will join the Dialogue again this year and participate as a session lead, reflecting continued bipartisan support for the Dialogue.
The Dialogue is co-hosted by the ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Foundation for Australia-China Relations and the Chinese People’s Institute for Foreign Affairs.
China’s delegation will be led by Mr Wang Chao, President of the Chinese People’s Institute for Foreign Affairs (CPIFA).
This is the fourth time Australia has hosted and the first time the event has been held in Adelaide.
