Australia and China will resume high-level government talks next week following a three-year hiatus, in a further step toward stabilizing the relationship between the two nations.
The Australia-China High Level Dialogue will be held in Beijing on Thursday and serves as a platform for senior representatives from industry, government, academia and other areas to discuss issues ranging from trade and investment to regional and international security, Foreign Minister Penny Wong said in a statement on Saturday.
“This is first time the Dialogue has been held since early 2020 and it represents another step towards increasing bilateral engagement and stabilizing our relationship with China,” Wong said. “The resumption of the Dialogue was one of the outcomes of my meeting with China’s State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing in December.”
“Since it was established, the Dialogue has been an opportunity to deepen mutual understanding with Chinese participants and to find common ground,” Emerson said. “I am proud to lead the Australian delegation and contribute to the Albanese government’s efforts to stabilize the relationship with China.”
