Australian proud to promote good relationship

CANBERRA: When the Olympic flame is carried through the Australian capital today, Carol Keil will have more reason than most to be excited, as she has worked with the Australia-China Friendship Society for 22 years, and is president of its Capital Territory branch committee.

"Even as a child, I remember my father talking about China and his interest rubbed off on me," she told China Daily.

The Capital Territory committee organizes a range of China-related activities, such as the Lantern Festival celebrations, and setting awards for young people studying Mandarin.
