| President Hu Jintao (L) meets with Australian Governor-General Michael Jeffery (R) at Government House in Canberra September 4, 2007. |
| CANBERRA, Sept. 5 - Visiting Chinese President Hu Jintao said here Tuesday that China-Australia relations have maintained a sound momentum1 of development in recent years.
Political mutual2 trust has been enhanced and mutually beneficial cooperation in trade and economy and other areas has been fruitful, Hu said during a meeting with Australian Governor-General Michael Jeffery.
This year marks the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
"China-Australia relations have set a good example for countries with different social systems to live together in amity3 and embark4 on mutually beneficial cooperation," he said.
The cause of promoting bilateral5 ties enjoys a solid political foundation, deep popular support and huge potentials, the president said.
The frequent exchanges of highest-level visits have provided a strong impetus6 for the development of Australia-China relations. The two countries are enjoying rapidly growing bilateral trade, ever closer energy cooperation and increased education cooperation, Jeffery said.
Both countries advocate maintaining world peace and oppose war, and have kept close communication and coordination7 in international affairs, he said.
He also hoped the two sides would strengthen research and cooperation in agriculture and clean energy.
Before his arrival in Canberra, Hu visited Perth, capital of Western Australia.
During his stay in Australia's resource-rich state, the Chinese president heard presentations by executives of renowned8 Australian enterprises and research institutes, watched a three-dimensional show of geological modeling on mining and exploration, and visited two laboratories. All the institutions have long-term cooperation with relevant Chinese agencies and enterprises.
At a facility of HIsmelt, a joint9 venture with investment from Australia, the United States, Japan and China, Hu viewed smelting10 operations.
In recent years, cooperation between the two countries has been expanding steadily11, particularly in mining, infrastructure12, energy and environmental protection.
China is now the second largest trading partner of Australia, while Australia is China's ninth. In 2006, bilateral trade amounted to 32.9 billion U.S. dollars, up 20 percent from the previous year.
In the first half of 2007, bilateral trade reached 19.5 billion dollars, a 35 percent increase over the corresponding period of 2006.
After his state visit to Australia, Hu will attend the economic leaders' meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum13 in Sydney on Sept. 8-9.
