Ye Wei stated at the meeting that China is currently Australia's largest trading partner and an important source country for Australian students and tourists. China has a complete industrial system and strong manufacturing capabilities, while Australia has abundant resources and a globally competitive tertiary industry. These advantages have laid a solid foundation for extensive cooperation between the two countries in various fields in the future. Liu Dianxun pointed out in his speech that China and Australia have established a comprehensive strategic partnership for 10 years, and the two sides have achieved significant achievements in cooperation in trade, investment and other fields. This promotion event invited nearly 400 Chinese companies to participate, making it currently the largest consumer goods exhibition in Australia. Exhibits include featured products from Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, Xizang and other regions, covering furniture, electrical appliances, sports outdoor products, gifts and stationery and other categories. Daming emphasized in his speech that the two-way trade between Australia and China has significantly increased in the past few decades. In the previous fiscal year, China accounted for 30% of all commodity sales in New South Wales. The various affordable goods and services imported from China have improved the living standards and business efficiency of New South Wales, promoting the sustained development of the local economy. Medi pointed out in her speech that the application of artificial intelligence products and advanced technologies in China has made the trade relationship between Australia and China even closer. He emphasized that China's high-quality and cost-effective products not only improve the living standards of Australian families, but also bring tangible economic benefits to Australia. Andrew Robb mentioned in his concluding remarks that the relationship between China and Australia has a history of nearly 200 years, and the cooperation between the two countries' enterprises in various fields is becoming increasingly close. Since the signing of the China Australia Free Trade Agreement, the trade relationship between the two sides has been further consolidated and developed.
