During the Australia-China Foreign and Strategic Dialogue, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong expressed her shock at the death penalty sentence imposed on Australian citizen Dr. Yang Hengjun for espionage charges. Wong assured Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi that the Australian government will continue to advocate on Dr. Yang's behalf. Wang declined to speak to the media after the meeting, which is unusual for senior visiting figures. The visit of Wang comes as Australia hopes for an end to trade sanctions imposed by China, including tariffs on wine, restrictions on lobsters and beef abattoirs. Wong also raised concerns about human rights in Tibet and Hong Kong and expressed a desire for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. The dialogue between the two countries aims to manage their differences and achieve a stable relationship. [Extracted from the article] |
