Mr Albanese met with the Chinese President on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Bali this week marking the first formal bilateral meeting with Mr Xi since 2016.
Speaking on the final day of the APEC Summit in Bangkok on Saturday, Mr Albanese said he had"constructive" talks with Mr Xi but deemed it too soon to plan an upcoming visit. Picture: Twitter"We'll continue to, arising out of this week's progress, take steps forward together."
On Tuesday Mr Albanese described his meeting with Mr Xi was “successful” and confirmed there will be “further dialogue” between the two countries. The New Zealand government said in a statement that both leaders confirmed the visit by Ardern would take place at a"mutually agreeable time". Mr Albanese said the trip was not only successful in re-engaging relations with China, but also in fast-tracking the finalisations of key free trade deals and securing Myanmar's release of jailed economist Sean Turnell.
