China and Australia emphasize the importance of dialogue to stabilize trade amid global tensions, as Chinese President Xi Jinping believes relations have turned around. Xi hosted Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who aims to enhance economic cooperation with China. This follows a difficult decade of strained relations, marked by security disagreements. Recent improvements include lifting a ban on Australian rock lobster imports, signaling an end to a damaging trade war. Both leaders agree that direct discussions are essential for regional stability and for addressing each country's national interests.
"No matter how the international landscape may evolve, we should uphold this overall direction unswervingly," Xi said, acknowledging the improvement in China-Australia relations.
"Australia values our relationship with China and will continue to approach it in a calm and consistent manner, guided by our national interest," Albanese stated.
"It's important we have these direct discussions on issues that matter to us and to the stability and prosperity of our region," Albanese emphasized.
"Dialogue needs to be at the centre of our relationship," Albanese reiterated during the meeting, stressing the importance of ongoing discussions.
