German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Australia was a"role model" for other nations trying to manage their relationship with China after successfully combating Beijing's attempts at economic coercion.
"You have actually been a role model in not bowing to that pressure. I want to express my great respect for the courage and resilience as well as the sense of proportion that you demonstrated." She said it clearly showed Beijing also faced risks if it completely de-coupled from the Australian economy.
Despite this, Germany's Foreign Minister acknowledged China's tactics were still"new" to Europe as she highlighted it was part of a broader trend amid mounting geostrategic tensions across the world. As will Ms Baerbock's pitch to improve ties between Germany and Australia's critical minerals sector.
