President Xi meets with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanage
He also mentioned, “We must oppose efforts to create chaos in the Asia-Pacific region.”
Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on the 6th and emphasized that China’s role in the global supply chain is essential. At the same time, he noted, “We must oppose attempts to disrupt the Asia-Pacific region.”
According to China’s official Xinhua News Agency, President Xi met with Prime Minister Albany, who was on an official visit to China, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing this afternoon and said, “The current global economy is unstable, factors that are difficult to predict are increasing, and each country’s economy is facing considerable challenges.” I was concerned.
He went on to say, “China’s development cannot leave the world, and the world’s development also needs China,” adding, “The idea of ‘severing the link’ or ‘removing risks’ is inherently protectionist, and it does not allow for the development of markets, science and technology, etc. “It goes against the flow of human society development,” he pointed out.
It appears that he has voiced criticism of the movement to keep China in check amidst the ongoing global supply chain reorganization amidst the ongoing conflict between the United States and China.
In addition, he said, “Small fences cannot solve the big challenges facing the world,” and urged, “We must be vigilant and oppose attempts to disrupt the Asia-Pacific region.” It can be interpreted that Australia is showing signs of discomfort in actively pursuing security cooperation with the United States and the United Kingdom.
“China hopes to carry out more trilateral and multilateral cooperation with Australia,” he said.
President Xi said, “It will provide unprecedented opportunities to countries around the world, including Australia,” and emphasized, “China and Australia must increase mutual understanding and trust for a peaceful war and realize common development for mutual benefit and cooperation.”
In response, Prime Minister Albanage said, “Australia and China have different political systems and it is completely normal to have differences of opinion, but we should not allow differences to define the relationship between the two countries.” He added, “Australia and China have a wide range of common interests, and dialogue and cooperation are the right things to do.” “It’s a choice,” he said, according to Xinhua News Agency.
On this day, Prime Minister Albanese met with President Xi for the first time as an Australian prime minister in seven years. Albanage’s visit to China coincided with the 50th anniversary of the first visit to China by an Australian prime minister.
