Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Australia’s Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong. Comments from the Chinese side:
-
The economies of China and Australia are highly complementary and
have great potential - Stressed that since
China-Australia relations are on the right track, we must not
hesitate, deviate or turn back - Regarding China’s
sovereignty, dignity and legitimate concerns, we hope that Australian
side will continue to abide by commitments it has made, respect and
properly handle them - The most important
thing is to persist in seeking common ground while reserving
differences - Every time we meet,
the mutual trust between two sides increases by one point, and
China-Australia relations take a step forward - Hope that the
momentum of this good interaction will continue
–
Sounds great, if all a little hollow.
AUD benefits when Australian relations with China improve and Australia can export more to its huge neighbour.
