Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he is seeking to set up an open dialogue with the Chinese government as part of his trip to the country.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will look to achieve "open and respectful dialogue" to stabilise the relationship with China. Albanese arrived in Shanghai on Saturday evening AEDT, becoming the first Australian prime minister to visit China - Australia's largest trading partner - in seven years.
But the prime minister won't back Beijing's application and is expected to reiterate that the bloc has the highest standards for entry, and will need the unanimous support of members to allow new nations in. China believes its application to join the trans-Pacific trade agreement is crucial to upgrading economic co-operation with Australia. Beijing imposed trade bans worth $20 billion on Australian products, but that has since been reduced to $2 billion.
