The successful launch and docking of the Tiangong 1 module and Shenzhou 8 spacecraft marked another significant step as China moves toward an innovation-oriented country. 　　40年来，双方各层次交往频繁，各领域互信加深。高层往来不断，民间交流活跃，往来人员突破百万人次。双边经贸往来密切，2011年度中澳双边贸易额突破1000亿美元，建交40年增长了千倍。中国作为澳最大贸易伙伴，两国利益交融，繁荣发展息息相关。　　 In 2012, the lunar Year of the Dragon, we also celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Australia.

In 40 years, high level visits and exchanges at all levels were frequent. Mutual trust between our two countries in various areas has deepened. People-to-people interactions were dynamic. The number of visitors to and fro exceeded 1 million annually. Trade relations continued to be strong. Last year’s volume topped 100 billion dollars, 1000 times larger than 40 years ago. China remains Australia’s largest trading partner. Our interests are more integrated and
