Albanese to cap China trip with panda diplomacy
Pandas and bionic ears are on the agenda of Prime Minister Anthony Arnavutluk, while the six -day tour of China reached the last leg.
Mr. Arnavut touched Chengdu in the southwest of China in the afternoon of Wednesday, where the Sichuan capital will host the Australian Open Joker Play-Off tournament for a second year.
In the Swelter 37C heat, the Prime Minister rejected a shot in the Central court, and instead greeted the role of sports in increasing the people and cultural connections between Australia and China.
“My dear friend (former professional tennis player) Glenn Busby came here and spent a lot of time here every year and China will dominate the sport in the coming years,” he said.
Chengdu, a state center that hosts 21 million inhabitants, is known as the house of giant pandas except China.
Mr. Albania will visit a reproductive research center at the forefront of efforts to save species from extinction.
In addition to a beloved cultural icon, Pandas are a central part of China’s efforts to give soft power in the world.
At a meeting with the local party secretary Wang Xiaohui, he said that the pandas establish positive relationships between Australia and China is an “important feature”.
In the last example of Panda diplomacy, he recorded two new panda borrowed to the Adelaide Zoo in 2024.
Orum I would like to thank the two newest guests who have been well met, ”he said.
However, Chengdu has another, undisputed more effective connection with Australia.
The Australian hearing aid company Cochlear is building a production and research facility in the city where the Prime Minister will visit on Thursday.
More than 50,000 Chinese patients suffered hearing loss that was restored by a cochlear device, which made it one of the largest markets of the company.
However, with a population of 1.4 billion, there is plenty of scope for expansion.
“Chengdu hosts inspiring examples of world leader Australia and China cooperation in the field of science, technology, research and education.
He said that both governments were the responsibility to invest in the research and the opportunity to deepen cooperation in medical production.
“This also depends on continuing to demolish obstacles by supporting free and fair trade that allows Australia Medtech companies to access the market in China.”
