「今天在座的各位都是來自五湖四海，大家为了讨论法律相关问题而共聚一堂，这实在是一件可喜可贺的事情。我们要做的是思考如何巩固并促进维多利亚州乃至澳大利亚与中国之间的投资和贸易。我很高兴今天能够代表维多利亚州州长來到这里祝贺大会的召开，并向各国来宾表示最热烈的欢迎，尤其是来自中国两家法律机构的贵宾们，时表达我们对进一步发展双边贸易和投资的期许。」

“That’s why today’s conference I think is so important, why the people who been in this conference need to be congratulated for bringing together such a distinguish group of delegates to consider some of these issues. To consider how we might do better in terms of underpinning that trade and investment between Victoria, Australia and obviously China. I am very pleased to be here on behalf of the Premier of Victoria to congratulate everybody involved in this conference, to extend a very warm welcome to our visitors from overseas, particularly from those two key legal inputs in China. To indicate our enthusiasm for building those trade investments further.”
