On July 7th, 2025, the Chinese Ambassador to Australia Xiao Qian published an article entitled “Now is the time to advance bilateral relations with steady progress”in the opinion section of The Australian Financial Review, stating that the healthy and stable development of China-Australia relations serves the interests of both countries and enjoys the firm support of the two peoples. At present, China-Australia relations are faced with favorable opportunities. China is willing to work with Australia to strengthen high-level guidance, enhance political mutual trust, properly manage differences, focus on common interests, and promote greater development of the China-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
过去三年来，在双方共同努力下，中澳关系得到稳定、改善并实现全面转圜。习近平主席同阿尔巴尼斯总理三度会晤，两国总理成功互访，各领域对话交流机制纷纷重启，务实合作走深走实，人文交流持续向好。事实证明，中澳关系健康稳定发展符合双方利益，得到两国人民的坚定支持。
Over the past three years, through the joint efforts of both sides, China-Australia relations have stabilized and improved, achieving a comprehensive turn around. President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese have met on three occasions. Premier Li Qiang and Prime Minister Albanese have exchanged successful visits. Mechanisms for dialogue and exchange across various sectors have been resumed, mutual understanding enhanced, and practical cooperation between the two nations expanded. Facts have proven that the healthy and stable development of China-Australia relations serves the interests of both countries and enjoys the firm support of the two peoples.
不久前，澳工党政府胜选连任。中澳全面战略伙伴关系开启第二个十年，迎来又一个重要发展阶段。当前，中澳均面临新的经济发展任务，中国正大力推进高质量发展，澳政府致力于提升生产力。我们期待双方进一步加强合作，为两国和两国人民带来更多福祉。
Not long ago, the Australian Labor government was re-elected and sworn into office, ushering in the second decade of the China-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and another important epoch of development. At present, both China and Australia are faced with new economic development tasks. China is committed to advancing high-quality development, while Australia is devoted to enhancing productivity. We look forward to further strengthening cooperation between the two sides so as to bring more benefits to both countries and peoples.
一是加强高层引领，巩固各机制性对话交流。建交以来，中澳关系虽历经风雨，但始终保持韧性与活力，关键在于两国领导人的战略引领。中方始终从战略高度和长远角度看待和发展中澳关系，致力于推动两国关系超越稳定、向前发展。中方愿同澳方相向而行，保持高层交往势头，用好用足中澳总理年度会晤、外交与战略对话、战略经济对话、部长级经济联委会、气候变化部长级对话等主要政府间对话机制，不断加强交流、深化互信、凝聚共识、促进合作。
First, strengthening high-level guidance and consolidating institutional dialogue and exchanges. Since the establishment of diplomatic ties, China-Australia relations have demonstrated resilience and vitality, weathering ups and downs, with the key lying in the strategic guidance of the leaders of the two countries. China has always viewed Australia and China-Australia relations from a strategic and long-term perspective, committed to advancing bilateral ties beyond stabilization and toward progress. China is willing to work with Australia to maintain the momentum of high-level engagement, make the most of such primary intergovernmental dialogue mechanisms as the China -Australia Leaders’ Annual Meeting, the Foreign and Strategic Dialogue, the Strategic Economic Dialogue, the Joint Ministerial Economic Commission, as well as the Ministerial Dialogue on Climate Change, continuously enhance communication, deepen mutual trust, build consensus, and promote cooperation.
二是拓展各领域务实合作。中澳经济优势互补，是天然的合作伙伴。十年前，两国签署高水平自贸协定，为促进双方经贸合作发挥重要作用。中国已连续16年成为澳最大贸易伙伴、出口市场和进口来源地。中国有14亿多人口、4亿多中等收入群体，为澳矿产、红酒、牛肉、龙虾等各类商品提供充足且稳定的消费市场。今年恰逢《中澳自贸协定》实施十周年，中方愿以更开放姿态、更严格标准对协定进行评估审核，不断夯实农业、矿产等传统领域合作基础，积极拓展人工智能、医疗健康、绿色能源、数字经济等新兴领域合作增长点，推动两国务实合作再上新台阶。
Second, expanding practical cooperation across all fields. China and Australia are natural partner with complementary economic strengths. Over the past decade since the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) came into effect, it has served as an important engine in boosting bilateral economic and trade cooperation. China has been Australia’s largest trading partner, largest export destination and the largest source of imports for 16 consecutive years. With a population of over 1.4 billion, including more than 400 million middle-income earners, China provides a vast and stable consumption market for Australian minerals, wine, beef, lobster and other products. At the 10th anniversary of the implementation of ChAFTA, we are willing to review the agreement with a more open attitude and higher standard, further consolidate cooperation in traditional areas such as agriculture and mining, and actively explore new growth areas in emerging fields like artificial intelligence, healthcare, green energy, and the digital economy, elevating practical cooperation to new heights.
三是深化人文交流和地方往来。中澳民间友好根基深厚，两国人员往来频密，人文联系密切。中国长期是澳最大国际留学生来源国和最大海外游客来源国，每年有超过100万的中国游客赴澳观光旅游。目前在澳有一百多万华侨华人，为促进澳经济社会发展、丰富澳多元文化社会作出重要贡献，成为中澳民间交往的重要纽带。两国现有100多对友好省州、姐妹城市，为增进地方交流和人民友谊发挥重要作用。中方期待同澳方进一步加强人文交流，一同书写更多两国民心相通的动人篇章。
Third, deepening people-to-people exchanges and sub-national ties. China and Australia have shared strong foundation for friendship, with close interpersonal and cultural connections. China has long been Australia’s largest source of international students and overseas tourists, with over a million Chinese tourists visiting Australia annually. Today, over one million Chinese Australians live in the country, making significant contributions to Australia’s economic and social development, and enriching its multicultural society. They serve as a vital bridge in people-to-people exchanges between the two countries. The two sides now have over 100 sister provinces (states) and cities, playing an important role in enhancing sub-national exchanges and friendship. China looks forward to further strengthening people-to-people ties with Australia and writing more heartwarming stories of mutual understanding between the two peoples.
四是推进国际和地区事务合作。中澳均为亚太地区大国，也是战后国际秩序的受益者和捍卫者。当前，国际社会变乱交织，单边主义、保护主义抬头。中方愿与澳方一道，在国际和地区议题上凝聚共识，在联合国、G20、APEC、东盟等多边机制框架下加强协作，共同守护地区和平稳定，捍卫国际规则秩序，倡导自由贸易，为动荡变革的世界注入更多稳定性和确定性。
Fourth, advancing cooperation on international and regional affairs. Both China and Australia are major countries in the Asia-Pacific region, beneficiaries and defenders of the post-war international order. At present, the international community faces intertwined challenges, with rising unilateralism and protectionism. China is willing to work with Australia to build consensus on international and regional issues, strengthen collaboration under multilateral frameworks including the UN, G20, APEC, and ASEAN, jointly safeguard regional peace and stability, uphold international rules and order, and advocate for free trade, injecting more stability and certainty into a world of turbulence and transformation.
站在新的历史方位，推动中澳关系稳中有进正当其时。中方愿与澳方携手努力，加强高层引领，增进政治互信，妥善管控分歧，聚焦共同利益，从两国人民的根本利益和地区国家的殷切期待出发，推动中澳全面战略伙伴关系取得更大发展。
Standing at a new historical starting point, now is the time to advance bilateral relations with steady progress. Guided by the fundamental interests of our two peoples and the earnest expectations of regional nations, China stands ready to work with Australia to strengthen high-level guidance, enhance political mutual trust, properly manage differences, focus on common interests, and promote greater development of the China-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
