In response to the indefinite suspension of all activities under the China-Australia Strategic Economic Dialogue mechanism, Jin Xiandong, spokesperson of the National Development and Reform Commission, at a regular press conference held in May on the 18th, said that the China-Australia Strategic Economic Dialogue mechanism is under the regular meeting of the prime ministers of China and Australia. Important mechanism.
Under the framework of this mechanism, the two sides have conducted strategic dialogues on key issues in the economic and investment fields of the two countries, which played a positive role in strengthening the economic ties between the two countries.
In the recent past, the Australian Federal Government has unreasonably restricted and suppressed China-Australia investment and trade cooperation projects and existing results, which undermined mutual trust between the two countries and seriously affected the confidence of enterprises in developing mutually beneficial cooperation.
In this regard, we have to make a proper and necessary response, and Australia should bear full responsibility for this.
We urge the Australian side to treat China-Australia cooperation objectively and rationally, treat Chinese companies fairly and fairly, stop misconduct that interferes with investment and trade cooperation between the two countries, and take actions to promote the healthy development of China-Australia relations.
