will tap potential for cooperation in emerging areas such as climate change and new energy, while carrying out more mutually beneficial projects, according to a foreign ministry statement on Tuesday.
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng made the remarks during a meeting with BHP CEO Mike Henry on March 27, the ministry said. Xie also expressed hope that BHP will contribute more to the improvement of China-Australia relations, according to the statement.
