Xi says ready to build mature, stable and fruitful China-Australia comprehensive strategic partnership

Chinese President Xi Jinping said he is ready to work with the Australian side to build a more mature, stable, and fruitful comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Australia.

Xi made the remarks when meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on the sidelines of the 19th G20 summit.

"Last November, we had sound and in-depth talks in Beijing on strategic, overarching and fundamental issues concerning the long-term development of China-Australia relations. Over the past year, the two countries have maintained close communication at all levels, actively promoted the implementation of the important consensus we reached, and made positive progress," Xi said.

"Ten years ago today, I was on a state visit to Australia, during which the two sides unanimously decided to establish a comprehensive strategic partnership. Over the past decade, China-Australia relations have made some progress, but also experienced some twists and turns, which have given us some perspectives. Currently, China-Australia relations have achieved a turnaround and are maintaining a positive momentum of development, bringing tangible benefits to the people of both countries. This is the result of the two sides working together in the same direction, which is worth cherishing. I am ready to work with you to build a more mature, stable, and fruitful comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Australia and inject more stability and certainty into the region and the world at large," Xi said.

Xi arrived in Brazil on Sunday to attend the summit scheduled for Monday and Tuesday and pay a state visit at the invitation of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Created in 1999, the G20 is a main forum for international cooperation on financial and economic issues and comprises 19 countries plus the European Union (EU) and the African Union (AU).

Technologies and products ensuring the safety of new energy vehicles (NEVs) have become most sought-after at the ongoing 22nd Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition, as China's NEV industry reached an annual output of over 10 million units.

The exhibition will run from Friday until November 24, showcasing 78 new models from global and domestic manufacturers for the first time. A total of 1,171 vehicles will be on display, including 512 NEVs.

During the exhibition, exhibitors have showcased cutting-edge innovations in NEV safety, with particular emphasis on vehicle architecture, chassis, and battery integration.

One key demonstration was the water immersion test, which showcased the vehicle's resilience and safety under extreme conditions.

"Next year, we will launch our first electric vehicle and conduct quality verification for over 1 million kilometers," said Qi Xiaohui, deputy general manager of Beijing Hyundai Motor Co., Ltd.

Electrical safety is a critical focus for NEVs. Gao Jidong, general manager of the New Energy Inspection Center at the China Automotive Technology and Research Center, said that the 2025 New Energy Vehicle Electrical Safety Technology System will expand to include 13 new testing items, covering areas such as fast-charging safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

To further support consumer confidence, the Center also launched the China New Energy Vehicle Safety Information Platform, which provides detailed data on electromagnetic protection, charging speed, and overall electrical safety.
