Anthony Albanese is talking tough ahead of a landmark visit to China, vowing not to shy away from “straight talks” with President Xi Jinping.
The Prime Minister will head to Shanghai and Beijing this week for talks with his counterpart in what will be the first trip by an Australian leader in seven years.
He said it was only through “having those straight talks” that Australia would build its relationship with China.A series of disagreements with the Coalition government put the diplomatic relationship between Canberra and Beijing in the deep freeze. The three-day visit, which will include meetings with Mr Xi and Chinese Premier Li Qiang, is set to mark the 50th anniversary of Gough Whitlam’s first visit to China.
