China is ready to deepen cooperation in the areas of trade, energy, minerals, innovation, digital economy and infrastructure. He also stressed that issues related to Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Xizang Tibetan Autonomous Region, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and the South China Sea affect China's core interests and should be respected.

Prime Minister Albanese noted that relations between Australia and China have improved significantly and reaffirmed Australia's commitment to stable cooperation. He also supported the hosting of the APEC summit in China next year.
Zhao Leji also stressed the need to strengthen exchanges between the Chinese All-China People's Congress and the Australian Parliament to promote practical cooperation and improve the business environment.
