Visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull here on Tuesday.

Turnbull, during the meeting, praised Chinese President Xi Jinping's important speech at the 2017 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, which made a strong case for advancing globalization and rejecting protectionism.

Turnbull said Australia, as an advocate and a beneficiary of the free trade, would go against protectionism side by side with China.

He also vowed to promote the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Australia to a new level.

Wang said China and Australia should jointly send a clear message to the world to build an open world economy, safeguard the international trade mechanism and reject protectionism.
