Australian prime minister to visit China
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard will make an official visit to China from April 25 to 28, at the invitation of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei made the announcement at a regular press briefing here on Tuesday.
China believes the two countries will clinch closer cooperation and dialogue through the upcoming visit, Hong said.
Hong spoke highly of bilateral cooperation in various fields such as culture, education, technology and tourism, and said the two countries also maintained close coordination on serious regional and international issues.
He noted the visit to Australia by China's top political advisor Jia Qinglin in early April gave an impetus to the development of bilateral ties.
China is Australia's biggest trading partner and export market, and largest source of imports. The two-way bilateral trade volume exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars in 2002, and surged to 88.9 billion U.S. dollars in 2010.
