In a chat filled with optimism, PM Albanese emphasized that differences shouldn't define Australia-China relations. Instead, he's all about finding common interests and working together. 🤝 \"We're pleased to see our relations getting back on track, and we're keen to keep those high-level exchanges rolling!\" he said.
Wang Yi, who's on a tour from March 17 to 21 visiting New Zealand and Australia, echoed the good vibes. He mentioned that the hiccups between the two countries are being ironed out. \"We've seen a second important transformation in our relationship since the current Australian Labor government came into power,\" Wang noted. 🛠️

But wait, there's more! Wang Yi also met with members of the Australia-China Parliamentary Group and even had a sit-down with Peter Dutton, the leader of the federal opposition. He reassured everyone that China's growth is an opportunity, not a threat. \"Our history shows we're partners, not rivals,\" Wang stressed. 💡
All in all, it's a feel-good story about two nations finding common ground and looking toward a brighter future together. Here's to more collaboration and less confrontation! 🎉
