Foreign Minister Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, met with Australian Foreign Minister Huang Yingxian in Manila on the 21st. Wang Yi said that under the joint leadership of the two countries' leaders, Sino-Australian relations are on the right track of improvement and development. This conforms to the interests of the two peoples and the expectations of the international community. China is ready to strengthen contacts with Australia, accumulate mutual trust, expand cooperation, and promote continuous progress in Sino-Australian relations. The two sides should maintain an attitude of equality and respect, settle differences, and reconcile differences, so that bilateral relations can achieve a virtuous cycle and progress upward, rather than being disrupted by certain biases. We hope Australia will adhere to the principle of non-interference in internal affairs, abandon double standards, move in the opposite direction with China, and maintain the momentum of improving bilateral relations.
