💨 Abstract

Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met to strengthen trade ties, despite their differing views on security and human rights. Albanese emphasized the importance of trade, with one in four Australian jobs dependent on it. He also highlighted efforts to diversify trade with Southeast Asian nations. The visit, part of Albanese's weeklong trip, includes discussions on tourism and reducing carbon emissions in key industries.
