Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, affirming that both countries will keep communication channels open and explore cooperation opportunities despite ongoing strategic rivalry in the Indo-Pacific region.
Under Albanese, Australia has pursued a pragmatic China policy of 'cooperate where we can, disagree where we must,' repairing ties strained under the previous government.
Xi called for safeguarding free trade amid a 'complex and turbulent' global environment, while Albanese voiced support for free trade and dialogue. However, the visit concluded without major new trade or investment deals.
The two sides agreed to launch a Policy Dialogue on Steel Decarbonisation, providing Australia insight into China’s government plans, and signed agreements on tourism, customs inspections, and agriculture.
Despite positive engagement, longstanding Australian concerns remain over China’s military activities and regional ambitions.
Trade relations continue to focus on key exports like iron ore, agriculture, and energy. Albanese was accompanied by executives from major Australian mining companies who met with Chinese steel industry officials to discuss future collaboration, including on green metals research.
Business leaders stressed the importance of fostering business-to-business ties to strengthen economic relations.
