On March 20, 2024 local time, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, held talks with people from various sectors such as Australian business and strategy in Canberra.
Wang Yi expressed appreciation for the long-term adherence of people from all walks of life in Australia to the concept of friendship with China and the active promotion of mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Australia.
Wang Yi stated that China's development is an increase in the power of world peace. As a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and the second largest contributor to the UN, China has always strived for peace, vigorously advocated for peace talks, and made positive contributions to maintaining international and regional peace and stability. China's development is an enhancement of global stability factors. China has always advocated and practiced multilateralism, advocated democratization of international relations, opposed unilateralism and bullying, and actively promoted the development of the international order towards a more just and reasonable direction. China's development is the expansion of development opportunities. China pursues a mutually beneficial and win-win opening-up strategy, opening its doors wider and wider to the outside world. It continues to create a market-oriented, rule of law, and international business environment, actively participates in international cooperation in response to climate change, and continuously provides new opportunities for the world with China's new development.
Wang Yi said that China Australia relations are comprehensive and multifaceted, and the common interests of both sides far outweigh differences. The two countries should be partners rather than opponents. Now that China Australia relations have embarked on the track of improvement, we should make great strides forward to build a more stable, mature and fruitful China Australia comprehensive strategic partnership to better benefit the two peoples and regional countries. Welcome everyone to come to China more often, take a look, introduce real experiences of China Australia exchanges, promote friendly exchanges between the two peoples, expand mutually beneficial cooperation, and contribute to the development of China Australia relations.
