Live: China's ambassador to Australia to address National Press Club
The federal election provided Australia and China a chance to 'reset', Xiao says"Now, with the recent federal election, we have a new Australian Government, the situation of the Australian people, but it did provide us with a possible opportunity to reset the relationship between our two countries.
"Chinese Premier Li Keqiang sent his congratulatory messages to the new Prime Minister of Australia, and Prime Minister Albanese returned with a letter of thanks. Defence ministers, Foreign Minister from our two countries, held their bilateral meetings. We have also seen ministerial communications between the two countries on education, on economy and on trade.
"The meeting between the two Foreign Ministers was especially productive. Important consensus was reached. The two sides reaffirmed their comprehensive strategic partnership and expressed willingness to engagements, enhance mutual trust, properly handle differences, remove obstacles and promote cooperation in a spirit of mutual respect and mutual benefit."
