BEIJING, Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- State Councilor Yang Jing met with public servants from Australia and New Zealand on Monday at Zhongnanhai, the seat of the central government.
The Australian and New Zealand guests are in Beijing to attend a seminar for senior public servants at the National School of Administration of China.
Speaking highly of China's relations with the antipodean nations, Yang, who also heads the school, said the seminar would help develop bilateral relations and enhance understanding and trust.
