On the morning of November 6, Premier Li Qiang of the State Council held talks with Austrian Chancellor Stockel, who is on an official visit to China, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Li Qiang said that this year marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Austria. Over the past half century, the two sides have insisted on mutual respect and mutual trust, open cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win results, promoting the continuous development of bilateral relations and achieving fruitful results of cooperation. Currently, it is difficult for the world economy to recover due to repeated geographical conflicts and the rise of unilateralism and protectionism. Both China and Austria are supporters and beneficiaries of multilateralism and free trade. They should firmly promote open cooperation, add impetus to their respective development, and inject positive energy into the world economy. President Xi Jinping will meet with the Prime Minister to draw up planning guidelines for deepening Sino-Austrian relations and cooperation. China is ready to strengthen dialogue and communication with Austria, consolidate mutual political trust, respect each other's core interests and major concerns, expand all-round cooperation, and bring more tangible benefits to the two peoples. Li Qiang pointed out that China is willing to share more market opportunities with Austria, import more high-quality products from Austria, promote the continuous expansion and quality of bilateral trade, expand cooperation in fields such as new energy, artificial intelligence, digital economy, and advanced manufacturing, and seek more practical results. The Chinese side supports more Chinese enterprises to invest in Austria and hopes that the Austrian side will provide a fair, just and non-discriminatory business environment for enterprises. The two sides should strengthen exchanges and cooperation in the fields of culture, tourism, education, etc., close two-way personnel exchanges, and continuously enhance mutual understanding and friendship. We hope that Austria, as a member of the European Union, will continue to play an active role and push the European side to adhere to a rational and pragmatic policy towards China. China is ready to strengthen cooperation with the United Nations and other multilateral fields to jointly promote world peace and prosperity.
