South Australia Governor Hieu Van Le, Assistant Minister to the Premier Jing Lee, Adelaide Festival Centre CEO Douglas Gautier and OzAsia Festival Artistic Director Joseph Mitchell also attended.

Mr. Mei congratulated the successful holding of the festival and discussed with other guests on cultural and artistic exchanges and mutual learning between China and Australia.
