South Australia has long appreciated the importance of China to our prosperity. This was evident as far back as 1986, when the South Australian Government entered a formal Sister-State relationship with Shandong Province. Next year will represent the 30th Anniversary of this historic achievement and I am pleased that the relationship with Shandong is growing in importance.
This month, the Premier will lead the largest trade and investment outbound mission from South Australia in our history as part of the South Australia-Shandong Cooperation and Development Forum.
