Australian Prime Minister Albanis will meet with Xi Jinping, President of China on Monday (November 6) in Beijing (November 6). It will become the first Australian leader to meet Xi Jinping in seven years, indicating that Sino -Australian relations will quickly recover.
According to Bloomberg, Albanis attended the opening ceremony of the 6th China International Import Expo held in Shanghai on Sunday (5th), and described the "mature" of Australian -China relations during his speech.Shanghai flew to Beijing.
When Albanis sat side by side with Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang at the opening ceremony of the Expo, he said that he would continue to cooperate with China.He said: "The relationship between the establishment of a dialogue and cooperation is in line with the interests of all of us."
For Albanis, attending the China International Import Expo has special significance.Australia is currently waiting for China's input restrictions on Australian agricultural products such as wine, beef and lobster.
Former Australian Prime Minister Mo Fauson called for the origin of the epidemic of crown disease, irritated the Chinese government, and implemented trade restriction measures in 2020, causing Sino -Australian relations to fall into a trough.
Albanis told reporters on Sunday that he hoped to see that the remaining trade restrictions were lifted and the trade resumed normal operation.He said: "We hope to see that both Chinese and Australian business community can benefit from it."
Before flying to China, Albanis first met Washington with US President Biden.Biden warned Albanis to "believe but confirm" anything in Beijing's visit to China.
Albanis met with Xi Jinping last time during the meeting during the 20th G20 of the Bali Island (G20) meeting in November last year.Albanis will stay in China until November 7, and then fly to the Cook Islands to attend the Pacific Island Forum.
Since the Labor government led by Albanis in May last year, Australian -China relations have gradually recovered.The two sides restarted high -level ministerial meetings, and Beijing also canceled the import restrictions on Australian coal, wood and barley.Before Albanis visited China, Beijing released Cheng Lei, a Australian reporter who had been detained for more than three years.
