Chinese Premier Li Qiang's recent visit to Australia has generated significant attention, with multiple articles highlighting various aspects of his trip. The premier arrived in Canberra on Sunday, marking the first visit by a Chinese premier to Australia in seven years. During his visit, he emphasized Australia's unique role in bridging the gap between the West and East. Li Qiang is set to hold high-level talks with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, which may pave the way for President Xi Jinping's first journey to Australia since 2014. The two leaders are expected to discuss outstanding trade and consular issues during their meeting.

    1. One of the very practical measures that we spoke about was improving military-to-military communication so as to avoid incidents.
    2. There is much that remains to be done, but it is clear that our nations are making progress in stabilising and rebuilding that crucial dialogue.
    3. We won't always agree — and the points on which we disagree won't simply disappear if we leave them in silence.
    4. We welcome the continued stabilisation and development of our bilateral relations. This dialogue has allowed us to build a deeper awareness of our respective interests.
    5. We also have our differences… that's why candid dialogue is so important. For Australia, we consistently advocate the importance of a region and world that is peaceful, stable and prosperous, where countries respect sovereignty and abide by international laws.
    1. We've managed to get all these things without kowtowing to the Chinese government.
    2. What we have done … is to stabilise the relationship with our largest trading partner, and that has resulted in, as I said, almost $20 billion of resumed trade with the Chinese government.
    3. I'm not expecting an announcement today, but I think the progression and the way in which these discussions have gone over the last two years leads me to be very confident that in the near future we will remove all of the remaining trading impediments between our two countries.
    1. It is hoped that the Australian side will provide a fair, just and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese enterprises.
    1. The Chinese would like to be treated like other foreign investors.
