Australia-China Youth Dialogue

The Australia-China Youth Dialogue (ACYD) aims to promote frequent and meaningful engagement between young adults in China and Australia who are interested in furthering Australia-China relations. Since 2010 The ACYD has brought together 30 outstanding Australian and Chinese citizens between the ages of 25-40 years to participate in a track-II diplomatic dialogue hosted in either Australia or China. 

The ACYD aims to strengthen existing ties and build cooperation in areas of shared interest and mutual benefit. ACYD supports and deepens understanding of China; the value of the bilateral relationship and the extensive people-to-people links that exist between the two countries as well as the rich contribution of Chinese Australians to Australia’s story, and the contribution of Australians to China’s story.
