Prime Minister Julia Gillard has launched the Government's Asian Century white paper and pledged to increase the focus on students learning a priority language from the region.

The policy document sets out 25 objectives for Australia to take advantage of the Asian boom by 2025 which are divided into five key areas: the economy, education and skills, commerce, regional security and culture.

The Prime Minister described it as a road map for national success as Asia's unstoppable rise continues.
