Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne says the government has a “very clear strategy” about protecting Australia’s national interest. “In the context of that, also protecting our national security,” Ms Payne told Sky News. Ms Payne discussed the government’s relations with China, following heightened tensions over the past year.
“We have made clear our definite willingness to engage with Chinese counterparts and our mature expectation that that would be able to occur”. “Importantly, in trade terms, we can be absolutely clear about Australia’s position in support of open markets. “In support of the usual rules of international trade and the World Trade Organisation. “Where there have been issues, we have taken them up respectfully and appropriately with Chinese authorities,” Ms Payne said.
