In a bid to enhance economic ties, the leaders of Australia and China held pivotal talks in Beijing, focusing on boosting trade despite differing stances on regional security and human rights issues.
Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of prioritizing common interests for the benefit of both nations. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese echoed this sentiment, acknowledging the positive outcomes this approach could yield.
Amidst Australia's dependency on Chinese exports, primarily iron ore, the Prime Minister has been actively working to mend diplomatic relations since his 2022 election. The endeavor extends to diversifying Australia's trade with other Southeast Asian nations to ensure economic stability.
