Guess who's landing Down Under! 🌏 Chinese Premier Li Qiang just touched down in Adelaide for an official visit, aiming to take China-Australia friendship to the next level.
Upon landing, Premier Li shared that China is ready to join hands with Australia to build a more mature, stable, and fruitful comprehensive strategic partnership. He believes this partnership will be a shared treasure for both peoples. 👫
Li highlighted the long history of exchanges between the two nations, noting that the friendship between the Chinese and Australian people is stronger than ever. ❤️ \"Our ties have deep roots, and it's time to make them even stronger,\" he said.
Remember when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited in 2014? 🤔 That was a game-changer! The two countries established a comprehensive strategic partnership back then, and things have been on the upswing since.
Li pointed out that cooperation in various fields has been accelerating and upgrading. Despite some \"twists and turns,\" mutual respect and win-win cooperation have kept the relationship on track. 🚀
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's visit to China last year also boosted the vibe, bringing relations back to the \"right track.\" Now, with Li's visit, both nations are set to co-chair the ninth China-Australia Annual Leaders' Meeting and host a CEO Roundtable. Big moves ahead! 🎯
This visit also marks the 10th anniversary of the comprehensive strategic partnership. 🥳 Li is excited to chat with Aussie leaders and folks from different communities to promote cooperation, development, and friendship.
Upon arrival, Li received a warm welcome from Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong and South Australia's Premier Peter Malinauskas. 🤗
Did you know? Li just wrapped up a three-day visit to New Zealand and is on his way to Malaysia after Australia. Busy schedule! ✈️
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting journey that's bringing China and Australia closer than ever! 🌟
