Mathew Trinca, director of the National Museum of Australia (NMA), has helped promote cultural understanding between Australian and Chinese people.
He said his interest in Chinese art started with calligraphy.
Trinca was appointed to the post of director in 2014. After that, he had opportunities to visit China on numerous occasions.
His most recent trip to China was before the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019.
During his trips, he could see a deepening of understanding between the people of the two countries.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Australia. Looking into the future, Trinca said he hoped to see the cultural relationship between China and Australia deepened.
