Wu Bangguo, chairman of the Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress (NPC), said Monday that China's new leadership puts much emphasis on developing relations with Australia.

During a meeting with Australian Prime Minister John Howard, Wu said China's new leadership is ready to strengthen relations with Australia in areas of politics, economy, culture, education, science and technology.
