Foreign Minister Penny Wong will host Chinese counterpart Wang Yi as Beijing prepares to remove trade impediments against Australian wine.
China's foreign minister will visit Australia and meet with counterpart Penny Wong as Beijing nears the removal of punitive tariffs on Australian wine. Wang Yi will arrive in Canberra on Wednesday, when the two ministers will meet for ministerial dialogue, with the case of detained Australian Yang Hengjun set to be a key topic of discussion.
China has recommended tariffs against wine be dropped in an interim finding from its review of the measure. The five-month review was triggered after Australia suspended its World Trade Organisation case against Beijing. The final decision is expected by 31 March but China's Ambassador to Australia Xiao Qian says the review is moving in the right direction. Dialogue was central to a constructive relationship with China and supporting regional peace, Wong said.
