On 12 November, Acting Consul-General Mr. Wang Hongsun attended the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Adelaide Branch of the China Chamber of Commerce in Australia (CCCA), together with Deputy Consul-General Chen Gang and representatives of member companies.

In his remarks, Mr Wang noted the positive momentum in China-Australia economic and trade relations. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had recently announced that he would travel to Shenzhen to attend the 33rd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting, an important opportunity to give fresh impetus to bilateral relations. He also highlighted the steady progress made in economic and trade cooperation between China and South Australia this year, noting that these achievements reflected the resilience and vitality of the partnership, as well as the active contribution of the CCCA Adelaide Branch and its member companies.

Mr Wang encouraged Chinese companies in South Australia to build on this momentum by maintaining high standards of compliance, strengthening their local presence and prioritising safe and sustainable operations. He also called on Chinese companies to remain alert to potential risks, support each other and pursue mutually beneficial cooperation. He encouraged the Branch to deepen its engagement with local industry associations and the Chinese community, further strengthen its role in serving member companies and fostering connections, and promote closer collaboration among businesses.

At the meeting, participants reviewed the Branch’s annual work report, elected Branch members and vice-presidents, shared updates on their business activities and exchanged views on the Branch’s work and priorities going forward.
