Known for driving Victoria's move away from fossil fuels, Andrews stressed that "formal Australia-China cooperation on decarbonizing heavy industries and advancing wind and solar technologies must be our next priority—this isn't just about our nations' futures, but the health of the planet." He noted that while some nations remain entangled in tariff disputes, Australia and China are paving a pragmatic path toward sustainability.
Andrews also praised China's new quality productive forces as a groundbreaking model for renewable energy, a sentiment that resonates with young energy enthusiasts, budding entrepreneurs, academics, and modern explorers alike.
