2015年CRI 中国战舰也门撤侨 习近平会见澳大利亚总督

 

The Chinese government says it's managed to evacuate¹ virtually all off the Chinese nationals currently living in Yemen.

Some 570 Chinese nationals are either on their way or have arrived in Djibouti with the help of Chinese warships².

The Chinese Embassy in Yemen and the Consulate³ General office in Aden will continue to operate.

It's also promising⁴ to stay in-contact with the 20 or so Chinese nationals who have decided⁵ to remain behind in Yemen.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has told Australia's Governor-General that his government expects to formalize a free trade agreement with Australia sometime this year.

Xi Jinping has met with Peter Cosgrove in Beijing, saying the FTA should help accelerate bilateral⁶ economic cooperation between the two sides.

Cosgrove has been in China since last week on his first state visit.

As part of his time, he's attended the Bo'ao Forum⁷ for Asia this past weekend.

Though officially the Queen of England's represenative to Australia as the Head of State, the Governor-General of Australia holds no tangible⁸ political power.
