During the meeting, Wang Yi emphasized the importance of respecting China's sovereignty, dignity, and legitimate concerns, and urged Australia to continue abiding by its commitments. Both sides highlighted the complementary nature of their economies and the potential for further economic cooperation. Wong expressed Australia's desire for a stable, productive, and mature relationship with China, acknowledging the progress in removing trade impediments. The discussions also touched on shared interests and the importance of seeking common ground while reserving differences.
