BEIJING, July 15 (Xinhua) — Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Tuesday called on China and Australia to further strengthen cooperation ties, promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, form stronger development synergy and effectively deal with environmental uncertainty.

Li Qiang made the remarks at the 8th China-Australia Business Leaders Roundtable, which he co-hosted with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Beijing.

About 30 heads of chambers of commerce and enterprises of the two countries took part in the round table.

Li Qiang recalled that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement, and noted that over the past decade, bilateral economic and trade cooperation has demonstrated remarkable resilience and vitality.

As the Premier of the State Council pointed out, the economic structures of the two countries are highly complementary and have a solid foundation for linking industrial sectors and markets, making China and Australia natural partners for cooperation.

Li Qiang noted that China's vast market will continuously unleash its huge consumer potential, creating more business opportunities for enterprises in both countries. He called on the two sides to strengthen cooperation in cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and life sciences to expand the capabilities of the Chinese and Australian industrial sectors.

With joint efforts by enterprises from the two countries to enhance cooperation in areas such as clean energy, electric vehicles and energy storage, a world-class green industrial chain with sustainability and competitiveness can be built, the premier stressed.

Li Qiang said governments and enterprises should move in the same direction to better promote development. He said China will continue to promote high-level opening-up, treat domestic and foreign enterprises equally, and protect the rights and interests of foreign companies and entrepreneurs in China in accordance with the law.

The Chinese leader also expressed hope that Australia would treat Chinese enterprises doing business in the country fairly and properly address issues related to market access and investment screening.

Li Qiang called on Chinese and Australian companies to maintain openness, seek cooperation, and further promote market convergence and industrial integration between the two countries.

E. Albanese noted in his speech that bilateral relations are currently developing steadily and the enthusiasm of business circles of both countries for cooperation is growing sharply.

The Australian side is ready to strengthen dialogue with the Chinese side, expand cooperation in various fields, including trade, agriculture, industry, energy resources and green development, jointly counter such a global challenge as climate change, and uphold international justice and free trade, added E. Albanese. –0–

Moscow, July 15 (Xinhua) — Russia will continue to achieve its goals through a special military operation (SMO) if Moscow's willingness to negotiate through diplomatic means does not find a response, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Tuesday.

S. Ryabkov pointed out that Moscow is ready to negotiate, and the diplomatic path to settlement remains preferable for it. If the Russian Federation's readiness to negotiate does not find a response, the goals set will continue to be achieved through the SVO, the Deputy Foreign Minister emphasized.

The diplomat drew attention to the fact that for Moscow “this position is unshakable.” “We would like Washington and NATO as a whole to treat it with the utmost seriousness,” S. Ryabkov pointed out.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Alexander Grushko stated that Moscow has a negative attitude towards the supply of weapons to Ukraine through NATO, “this is further evidence that NATO is not really interested in peace.”

“I would like to remind you that at the summit in The Hague /NATO Secretary General Mark/ Rutte stated that ‘our common task is to make NATO more lethal’, not in the sense that it will die in a few days, but to make it more deadly, and also to keep Ukraine in the fight,” noted A. Grushko.

On Monday, US President Donald Trump said Russia needed to reach a deal on the conflict in Ukraine within 50 days, as well as to supply American weapons to the Ukrainian Armed Forces through NATO.

Commenting on the deadlines for concluding the agreement announced by D. Trump, A. Grushko noted that “first of all, this is very strange.” As the Deputy Foreign Minister pointed out, “any agreement presupposes negotiations.”

According to A. Grushko, “yesterday no call was made to the Ukrainian side to respond to the Russian Federation’s readiness to resume negotiations.” “From this we must conclude that there is no real interest on the part of the West to facilitate the successful completion of these negotiations,” the Deputy Foreign Minister believes.

US President Donald Trump on Monday announced a new arms supply scheme for Ukraine, under which the US will sell a large batch of weapons to European countries, after which they will hand them over to Kyiv and also replenish their stockpiles through new purchases from Washington. –0–

Moscow, July 15 /Xinhua/ — China plays an important role in promoting mutually beneficial cooperation in the field of rare earth metals, while the negative narratives spread by the United States about the "Chinese threat" in this area sow discord and contradict the laws of economic globalization, Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui said in an opinion piece published in the Russian newspaper Argumenty i Fakty on Tuesday.

“China has always carried out international cooperation in the mineral resource sector on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, in accordance with the law, and has never resorted to putting pressure on other countries or putting forward political or security-related conditions,” the publication says.

As Zhang Hanhui emphasized, China has an important mission in the global supply of rare earth metals, accounting for nearly 70 percent of the world's supply. The ambassador noted that in recent years, China has given priority to the high-quality development of the rare earth metal industry through scientific and technological innovation, consistently carries out industry regulation, and successfully mastered "green" mining technologies, solving the global pollution problem. "Strengthening the management of rare earth metal exports by China contributes to further changing the extensive development model of the industry, promoting its standardization, orderliness and sustainable development," the Chinese diplomat said.

The author of the article recalled that in November last year, China revised its Mineral Resources Law. Article 15 of the law clearly stipulates that international cooperation in the field of mineral resources should be actively promoted, adhering to the principles of equality, mutual benefit and win-win. Zhang Hanhui cited striking examples of mutually beneficial cooperation, including the project implemented by Chinese enterprises to modernize the largest lithium deposit in Zimbabwe, as well as the construction of a modern industrial park in Indonesia that formed a complete chain of “nickel mining – material production – battery production”.

At the same time, as Zhang Hanhui noted, the US has recently been spreading negative narratives about China “weaponizing rare earth metals” and “strangling the world with rare earth metals.” Moreover, Western countries have declared their intention to build supply chains that exclude China and create a “metal NATO.” “These words are not only imbued with Cold War thinking and openly incite division, but also contradict the laws of economic globalization, threatening peace and stability,” the ambassador warned.

The author of the publication is confident that the only right way is to strengthen international cooperation. As an example, he cited China and Russia, which are linked by comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction in the new era and have a high degree of complementarity in the field of critical minerals. “Deepening cooperation in this area is important,” the Chinese diplomat emphasized.

Zhang Hanhui recalled that in a joint statement issued in May this year, China and Russia emphasized the importance of mutual supply of mineral resources, intensifying industrial cooperation, expanding cooperation in technology and innovation, and strengthening industrial chains. “The parties will jointly promote equal and mutually beneficial cooperation in the field of critical minerals, firmly defend the rights and interests of China, Russia and a wide range of developing countries, jointly achieve equal and orderly multipolarity, accessible and inclusive economic globalization, making Chinese-Russian contributions to global development and prosperity,” the Chinese Ambassador to the Russian Federation concluded. –0–
