Leaders' meeting sees Australia and China call for increased dialogue and cooperation

China and Australia should foster an accurate understanding of each other and strengthen mutual trust, President Xi Jinping told visiting Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. The top-level meeting in Beijing on July 15, 2025, came as the two major trading partners are moving to deepen economic ties despite heightened geopolitical tensions.  For his part, Albanese affirmed Australia's commitment to its largest trading partner, welcoming progress on the free trade deal. Albanese is also scheduled to meet Chinese Premier Li Qiang later in the day, with resources trade, energy transition and security  expected to be key discussion points.
