Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome to the inauguration of the new office for the Economic and Commercial Section of the Chinese Consulate General, and please allow me introduce to you its new director--Mr.Lin Kun.
The location of the office manifests our confidence in the future of Sydney’s development.And In view of the continuously increased commercial activities in this neighborhood after the year 2000, we are convinced that this district shall have great development prospect.
Today’s ceremony is held at a time when China-Australia economic and trade relations have entered a period of sustained development.Compared to its vast potential, the existing bilateral economic and trade exchanges may have not reached our expectation.However, through years’ endeavor from governments of all levels and entrepreneur in both countries, we now have deepened mutual understanding, no longer groping in the dark, with clear concepts what are each other’s urgent needs and what we can offer to each other.
Economic and Commercial Section, operating as part of diplomatic organ, does not directly get involved in busine activities which are left to commercial communities, but to provide policy instruction and information services.And we are willing to provide our services to busine communities in both China and Australia.
