Greetings.\u00a0I am deeply honoured to be the new Australian Consul-General in Chengdu.\u00a0I arrived in mid-January and have been highly impressed by southwest China, with its friendly people, dynamic economy, remarkable history and stunning natural beauty.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As I start my posting, I am conscious that we are still a relatively new Consulate-General, being just over three years old.\u00a0I hope to build on the strong\u00a0<\/span>foundation set by\u00a0<\/span>my predecessor Nancy Gordon and continue expanding and deepening our efforts in bringing Australia and southwest China closer together.\u00a0I am keen to connect businesses from both sides with opportunities that both our economies offer.<\/p>\n

The Consulate-General promotes Australia\u2019s interests in southwest China, and also has a role in raising awareness among Australians of this important region.\u00a0In this regard, I would like to work with you to build cultural and people-to-people links.<\/p>\n

In the weeks and months to come, I hope to be ab<\/span>le to meet as many of you as possible to discuss how we build a stronger and mutually beneficial relationship between Australia and southwest China.<\/p>\n
