Early this year, the inauguration ceremony for YCCiA was held in the Chinese Embassy in Canberra, Australia. At the ceremony, Chinese Ambassador Mr. Chen Yumin noted, ＂China needs to be known by the rest of the world, while being eager to know more about the outside world.
During Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang’s official visit to Australia in October 2009, Chinese and Australian leaderships reached a consensus of hosting cultural years in each other’s country. From June 2010 to June 2011, "Experience Australia"—the Year of Australian Culture was successfully held in China. From June 2011 to June 2012, "Experience China"—the Year of Chinese Culture (YCCiA) is celebrated in Australia, featuring nearly 100 cultural events ranging from performing arts projects to visual art exhibitions to film festivals.
