Australia-China Relations and the Albanese Visit

Anthony Albanese will become the first prime minister to travel to China in seven years, as his upcoming visit marks a warming in Australia-China relations. During their wide-ranging meeting, Albanese will seek to convince Xi Jinping to end the remaining tariffs on Australian imports and release imprisoned Australians.
Many hope that the visit, coinciding with the 50-year anniversary of Gough Whitlam establishing diplomatic ties with China, will stabilise relations going forward.
Asialink's webinar will reflect on the perceived success of the meeting between Albanese and Xi Jinping within both China and Australia. Panelists will focus on a moving forward of the bilateral relationship, examining further trust-building measures and areas of mutually beneficial cooperation. The webinar will also consider broader geo-strategic challenge
