What I'm going to say to Xi Jinping: Anthony Albanese says he's going to be 'direct' when he meets with Chinese leader - in first official visit to China for an Australian PM in seven years
Mr Albanese will head to China on Saturday as part of the first visit by an Australian Prime Minister since 2016. The trip coincides with an easing of tensions between the two countries, with China winding back tariffs on several Australian products. Mr Albanese said while there had already been a thawing of diplomatic relations, he would be direct during his meeting with President Xi Jinping. 'Australians are pretty direct, and the Australian people want me to be direct about our interests,' he told ABC Radio on Tuesday. The PM will visit a trade fair in Shanghai and meet with Chinese premier Li Qiang, before holding talks with President Xi in Beijing on Monday.
