Timothy Kendall said that Changsha is appealing to young people for its unique advantages and sense of happiness, and the city is full of vigor and vitality. Australia and Changsha have broad prospects for cooperation. He hoped that, on the basis of good cooperation, the two sides could further expand cooperation areas, deepen cooperation, increase exchanges, and achieve win-win results in such fields as energy conservation and emission reduction, education, and people-to-people exchanges.
