First of all, I would like to thank all
council members for electing me to be the president of the FOSCA council. On behalf of the newly
elected council, I would like extend our gratitude to the outgoing members
of the council for their outstanding contributions to the FOSCA over the
last two years. Having documented in the FOSCA Constitution, the FOCSA has
three primary functions. It is an important bridge between Australia and
China in various exchanges in sciences, technology, education, culture,
economy and so on. FOCSA has also been a bridge between all group members,
which has extended our networking range. The first function of the FOCSA is
to bridge between the old-generation Australian Chinese scholars who has
lived in Australia for many years and the new-generation Australian Chinese
scholars who has just arrived at this lively land.
I believe the FOCSA cannot only make significant contributions to China in
this critical period but also generate many opportunities to contribute the
development of Australia. In the next two years, I wish that we can
consolidate the exchanging platforms that the FOCSA has established for its
membership and more importantly we should use those platforms to generate
more benefits to China, Australia and FOSCA members.
