Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong met on Tuesday, where Australia expressed concerns over China's military development and a recent missile test, according to reports.

Wang Yi urged Australia to give up 'double standards' during the meeting, as reported.

Australia described China's missile test as 'destabilising'.

Wang stated that both sides should address differences on the basis of mutual respect and equality, and seek common ground while managing disagreements, according to a source.

The missile test, which Australia called destabilising, was conducted in the Pacific region.
