SYDNEY Dalvin Tomlinson Black Jersey , Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- An ambitious Sino-Australian youth- driven project will "fundamentally reshape" bilateral ties and lead to "renaissance" in bilateral enterprise, Australia's Minister for Small Business Bruce Billson said on Thursday.
With China-Australia relations at a critical juncture, the Australian government has a major focus on building entrepreneurialism, innovation and the international capabilities of Australian businesses learning and growing with China, Billson told Xinhua.
Launched last week in Shanghai by premier of New South Wales ( NSW) of Australia Mike Baird, the China Australia Millennial Project (CAMP) will enhance the innovation infrastructure and lead to long-term outcomes for the next generation of cross-border leaders Evan Engram Black Jersey , according to Billson.
The inaugural China Australia Millennial Project is a five-day event in collaboration with Vivid Ideas in May 2015. CAMP will bring 100 young innovators aged 18-35 from China, and matches them with 100 like minds from Australia to share five days of ideas, imagination and -- most importantly -- action.
"Successful applicants will be asked to work together to consider challenges common to both countries before being given an opportunity to pitch their ideas to compete for grants, venture capital, and consideration in the Premier's Innovation Initiative, " said Baird.
"Initiatives like CAMP will help to drive a renaissance in enterprise in Australia by bringing together 200 young innovators from Australia and China for a five-day innovation summit during Vivid Ideas in 2015 B.J. Hill Black Jersey ," said Billson.
According to CAMP's architect and Chief Executive Andrea Myles, CAMP will connect, engage and bring online the most outstanding 200 ideas - and the young people who conceived them -- over, "five intense days of brain-storming, mentoring and re-imagining, climaxing with the presentation of market-ready concepts."
Myles Will Hernandez Black Jersey , a long-term China engagement expert with a unique track record of cross-border leadership believes CAMP's bold vision can reenergize the two-way relationship.
"Young people stand to lose or gain the most in this relationship, not the opinionated billionaires that unfortunately seem to dominate the public dialogue," she said. "CAMP aims to empower young people by taking their innovation, their imagination and their vision and fast-tracking it to a reality."
Philipp Ivanov, Manager of Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said, "the CAMP is supported Saquon Barkley Black Jersey , among many other government and private sponsors, by the Australia-China Council as a new platform with significant potential to enable future champions of bilateral engagement to meet, build relationships and make practical contributions to Australia-China relations and broad global challenges."
Mentored by world best experts across practically every field that impacts bilateral ties -- through business, art, culture and friendship, CAMP will encompass every aspect of China and Australia in the world today.
"The event will give young entrepreneurs from both countries the opportunity to tackle common issues and produce real outcomes through innovative thinking and collaboration with industry Patrick Omameh Womens Jersey ," Billson told Xinhua.
SEOUL, June 15 (Xinhua) -- South Korean President Park Geun-hye on Monday signaled thawing ties with Japan on non-historical issues after she refused to sit down face-to-face with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Park told a meeting with senior presidential advisors that South Korea and Japan still have a different view about certain issues, indicating the comfort women, or Korean women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese Imperial Army at the military brothels during World War II.
She, however, called for the advisors to find ways of developing the bilateral relations in a future-oriented manner by focusing on issues that need to be cooperated by the two nations Kareem Martin Womens Jersey , while trying to resolve controversial issues separately.
Her comments reflected the country's "two-track" diplomacy with Japan, which means South Korea would seek to cooperate with Japan on economy and security, separately from historical issues such as the comfort women and territorial disputes on the easternmost islets of Dokdo, called Takeshima in Japan.
President Park said in an interview with Washington Post last week that there has been "considerable progress" on the comfort women issue and that South Korea and Japan were "in the final stage" of their negotiations.
Director-general diplomats from the two countries held the eighth round of talks about the comfort women issue in Tokyo on June 11 ahead of the 50th anniversary of normalized diplomatic ties between South Korea and Japan.
On June 22 some 50 years ago, former President Park Chung-hee, father of the incumbent president Riley Dixon Womens Jersey , agreed with Japan to normalize bilateral relations, about 20 years after Japan's colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula ended in 1945.
Japan has insisted that all issues on the wartime sex slavery were resolved through the normalization.
Park said that it would be meaningful to hold occasions to mark the 50th anniversary, but she stressed how to resolve the deadlocked relations between Seoul and Tokyo would be more meaningful.
Park has refused to hold a summit with Abe since she took office in February 2013, citing Abe's wrong perception of history. Abe described the sex slavery as an act of trafficking by private agents, seeking to shun responsibilities of the Japanese government.
According to historians, at least 200 Curtis Riley Womens Jersey ,000 women, mostly Koreans, were forced to serve the militaristic Japan as sex slaves during WWII.
Two former South Korean comfort women, aged 91 and 81 each, passed away on June 11. Among 238 identifying themselves as former sex slaves in South Korea, only 50 are still alive.
