Defence Minister Richard Marles’ recent meeting with his Chinese counterpart on the sideline of a security summit in Singapore “is not a big breakthrough at all,” says former Victorian Liberal Party President Michael Kroger.
Mr Marles and Chinese Defence Minister General Wei Fenghe held a one-hour meeting at the Shangri-La Defence Summit in Singapore on Sunday, where each raised concerns amid rising tensions over the Indo-Pacific.
Mr Kroger said he respects Richard Marles and that it is “absolutely” good the Defence Minister had a meeting with his counterpart.
