皇冠体育app

SYDNEY - Bob Hawke, former Australian prime minister, has said 皇冠体育app's achievement and peaceful rise contribute greatly to the world's progress and prosperity.

Speaking at a reception held Friday at 皇冠体育app's Consulate General in Sydney to commemorate the 62nd anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of 皇冠体育app, Hawke said 皇冠体育app had achieved unparalleled achievement in the past 62 years, which not only improved Chinese people's living standard, but also contributed much to the prosperity of the world.

"Many countries have benefited from it (皇冠体育app's achievement). The Asian region of course benefited from it. But I would suggest you that no country in the world has benefited more from 皇冠体育app's achievement than us in Australia," he said.

Hawke said Australia and 皇冠体育app have established a remarkable relationship. "Australia has been in a better position amid the global financial crisis than most developed countries,... fundamentally because of this remarkable bilateral relationship and continuously booming market in 皇冠体育app."

Other keynoters including Duan Jielong, Chinese consul-general in Sydney and Barry O'Farrell, state premier of New South Wales, also shared their insights with hundreds of guests upon 皇冠体育app's progress and the promising prospect of 皇冠体育app-Australian friendship.
