On November 10, Guo Ningning, Acting Governor of Fujian Province, met in Fuzhou with Jeremy Rockliff, Premier of Tasmania, Australia, and his delegation. Zhao Zenglian, Member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Fujian Provincial Committee and Vice Governor of Fujian Province, attended the meeting.

Entrusted by Zhao Long, Secretary of the CPC Fujian Provincial Committee, Guo Ningning welcomed Premier Rockliff and his delegation on their visit to Fujian on behalf of the CPC Fujian Provincial Committee and the People's Government of Fujian Province, and gave an overview of Fujian's economic and social development. She noted that Fujian and Tasmania enjoy time-honored and ever closer friendly exchanges. During his tenure in Fujian, President Xi Jinping attached great importance to and personally advanced the friendly relations between Fujian and Tasmania. Over the years, he has continued to guide and drive fruitful and wide-ranging cooperation between the two sides. Currently, Fujian is thoroughly studying and implementing the guiding principles of the fifth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee and the guiding principles from President Xi Jinping's important speeches, instructions and directives, leveraging its combined strengths in multiple national-level pilot zones and platforms, comprehensively deepening reform, expanding high-standard opening up, and striving to play a pioneering role in Chinese modernization. This year marks the 45th anniversary of the sister province/state relationship between Fujian and Tasmania. She expressed the hope that, taking this as an opportunity, both sides will jointly implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, carry forward traditional friendship, further strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation in areas such as agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fisheries, culture, tourism, and digital economy, continue to deepen sister-city and people-to-people exchanges, and write a new chapter in Fujian-Tasmania friendship.

Jeremy Rockliff said that Tasmania and Fujian share deep historical connections and broad prospects for cooperation. He hoped that both sides will take the 45th anniversary of the sister province/state relationship as a new starting point to deepen exchanges and cooperation in areas such as agriculture, fisheries, new energy, education, culture, and arts, and open up new prospects for mutual benefit and win-win results.
