Victoria’s China Strategy: For a New Golden Era

Victoria’s China Strategy: For a New Golden Era renews Victoria’s friendship with China for the future.

Victoria and China share longstanding ties that support economic prosperity and the cultural richness of our State. China is one of Victoria’s largest trading partners and a key source of international students and visitors.

Though our connections are deeper than commerce and have their foundation in our people. Since the first Chinese migrants arrived more than 150 years ago, Victoria has been home to a significant Chinese community that make important contributions to our economic, social, and cultural landscape.

The release of Victoria’s China Strategy: Partnerships for Prosperity in 2016 successfully positioned Victoria as a partner of choice for economic and cultural cooperation.

In a complex and dynamic global environment, it is important that Victoria builds on that status and remains a national leader and destination for meaningful engagement with China.

That’s why we’ve updated our plan to guide engagement with China for the next five years by releasing Victoria’s China Strategy: For a New Golden Era.

This Strategy identifies sectors and regions of opportunity to ensure Victoria’s engagement with China continues to deliver outcomes for our State, working in close partnership with industry, community, and all levels of government.

We will generate new opportunities for Victoria’s unique and world-class offerings to reach the Chinese market, consolidate our strong reputation to attract talent and opportunity to Victoria, and continue to nurture those communities who already call Victoria home.

By targeting our effort in the sectors and regions of existing strength and emerging opportunity, we will build enduring partnerships that support the State’s long-term prosperity, our proud multicultural society, and our competitiveness abroad.

That’s the next chapter in our journey. Together, we’ll share in the success.
