Asia contains some of our closest neighbors. In many different areas, Australia has forged strong links with Asia, links which on their current path can only become stronger. Our future now lies with Asia, our closest trading partner. Previously we mainly associated ourselves with Europe, Britain and America, however now we are leaning towards Asia to become the area of all our major trade. We have already begun to break into Asia, their market, their culture and their people. This mutually beneficial future is built on strong foundations forged over the past century. Relations such as industry, trade, tourism, immigration, cultural exchange, our history and geography have paved the way for a stronger partnership between the two continents.
