Drawing a line over a diplomatic fracture that escalated into a damaging trade war after Scott Morrison in 2020 called for an independent inquiry into the origins of Covid-19, Australia and China will resume an annual leaders meeting between the prime minister and the premier of the People’s Republic, a foreign ministers dialogue and an economic dialogue.
Albanese said the trip – the first by an Australian prime minister since 2016, timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Gough Whitlam establishing diplomatic relations with the communist country – marked a point where the “relationship moved forward, where dialogue occurred in a way that was respectful, where differences were able to be discussed in a way that didn’t define the whole relationship”.
“I think people will look at this visit as well and see this as a culmination of 18 months of hard work by the foreign minister and by other members of the government, as well as members of the Chinese government, as one where our approach has been to be patient, deliberate and calibrated in moving the relationship forward.”
