On August 10, Liu Huanxin, director of the State Administration of Food and Material Reserves, met with visiting Australian Ambassador to China Giside and his entourage in Beijing. The two sides had in-depth exchanges on promoting cooperation between China and Australia in the field of food. Liu Huanxin said that the Chinese government has always attached great importance to the issue of food security. In recent years, the national food security strategy of “focusing on me, based at home, ensuring production capacity, moderate imports, and scientific and technological support” has been thoroughly implemented, consolidating the foundation of food security in all aspects and embarking on a path of food security with Chinese characteristics. Australia is an important food exporter in the world. It is an important partner of China in the APEC food sector, and the two sides maintain good interaction and cooperation. The State Administration of Food and Material Reserves is willing to continue to push the two sides to deepen APEC food security cooperation and jointly participate in food and agriculture governance in the Asia-Pacific region. Giseed said that Australia is willing to work with China to strengthen mutual support under multilateral and bilateral mechanisms, deepen cooperation in food trade, promote food science and technology exchanges, enhance personnel exchanges, and further expand the results of cooperation in the field of food.
