It will be the first visit by a senior Chinese officials since diplomatic relations between Beijing and Canberra turned sour in 2017 over growing concern about Chinese foreign interference.
| The first senior Chinese official to visit Australia in six years is meeting with senior members of the business community in Sydney on Tuesday as Beijing and Canberra pave the way for the removal of sanctions on $20 billion worth of exports.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong and Trade Minister Don Farrell said on Tuesday that Australia would suspend its World Trade Organisation appeal against China’s punitive tariffs on Australian barley, which China has agreed to review.“It is a positive step from China and realistic by them.
China’s willingness to engage with Australia ends a three-year freeze in diplomatic ties when senior ministers in Mr Xi’s government refused to pick up the phone to Morrison government officials.
