Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is set to become the latest world leader to travel to Beijing for trade talks, as countries around the world scramble to navigate the turbulence unleashed by US President Donald Trump’s tariff policies.
The Australian leader is expected to arrive in the Chinese capital in July or August, a source with knowledge of the situation told the Post on condition of anonymity, with the European Union also scheduled to hold a crunch summit with China during the same period.
“Albanese is expecting to meet with [President] Xi Jinping during his visit,” the source said.
“It’s a trip to engage with Australia’s largest trading partner,” the source said. “Australian people voted for Albanese again because he can stabilise the Australia-China relationship.”
