Australia held a 'successful' bilateral meeting with China, Anthony Albanese said, as he became the first Australian prime minister to formally meet with President Xi Jinping in six years.
The prime minister said he spoke "firmly but politely" and urged Mr Xi to exercise China's influence over Russia and condemn its war with Ukraine.
"It was not anticipated that a meeting such as that [would result in] immediate declaration," he said. In opening remarks ahead of the meeting, Mr Xi said the China-Australia relationship had run into some difficulties in the past few years.
