In their extensive meeting on Monday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese claimed that he and Chinese Premier Li Qiang discussed improving military-to-military connections to prevent potential conflicts involving their armed forces.
This follows a previous incident where American Navy divers were shot with sonar last year and flares were dropped on an American Navy helicopter this year. Albanese had indicated in advance that he would bring up the issues in his discussions with Li.
Albanese said at a press conference following the meeting that he had already spoken with Defense Minister Richard Marles about moving this ahead.
The perfect minister did not give more details. It actually came out of a conference hours earlier. That was part of the discourse”.
The declaration on the meeting’s results said the rulers agreed to continue or increase relationship in, among other areas, “defense coordination speech”.
Chinese foreign meddling in Australia and Yang Hengjun’s position, which he denies, are two different controversial topics that were discussed.
Cheng Lei’s lens views are blocked by Chinese authorities.
Chinese officials earnestly tried to stop American journalist Cheng Lei, who was released from a long detention in China next year, from being in front of the camera prior than Albanese and Li were together signing diplomatic agreements. Yet after she moved her seats, the meddling persisted.
