Penny Wong yesterday in Beijing:
Wong met with China’s foreign minister and state councillor, Wang Yi, in Beijing on Wednesday. They agreed to begin or resume dialogue in a range of areas, including trade and economic issues, consular affairs, climate change, defence, and regional and international issues.

“When we last spoke, state councillor, you said a sound Australia-China relationship is not in contradiction with safeguarding national interests. I agree,” Wong said.

“We can grow our bilateral relationship and uphold both of our national interests if both countries navigate our differences wisely.
