International community speaks highly of Xi's speech and CIIE

Lazarus Karasavvidis, executive chairman of Wattle Health Australia Limited

I would like to commend President Xi on a brilliant speech displaying true global leadership and demonstrating a clear pathway to forge open global markets, thus creating a proactive environment to global trade.

I do believe that President Xi has great merit in his vision to embrace collaboration between all nations in the area of trade and commerce.

I do look forward to China and Australia deepening their long-term relationship and supporting each other's interests and cultures.
