By listening carefully to the historical path of Liaoning University, Acting Consul General Medina thought highly of the tangible fruits that Liaoning University had yielded. She stated that after 25years’ development, AABC now is enjoying fruitful achievements, which is made under the joint efforts of teachers and students from the two universities. She added that currently China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi was paying a visit to Australia, exploring cooperation with Australia in culture, sports and education. Against the backdrop that the bilateral relationship of the two countries is positively evolving, the Australian Consulate General in Shenyang is willing to join hands with other parties to serve as a bridge to offer due support for the international endeavor of Liaoning University.
