China's foreign minister expected in Australia for high-level talks within weeks
In short: Australia is preparing for an expected visit from China's foreign minister in late March. Officials are planning for China's foreign minister to come to Australia for high-level talks within weeks as both countries prepare for Premier Li Qiang to make a state visit later this year. "If it's going to be a substantive meeting with Premier Li Qiang then yes, the Chinese foreign minister should come first," he said. "Although personnel movements in the senior ranks of the Chinese government and Communist Party are hard to predict from the outside, Liu's ascension to the foreign minister post seems likely," he said. Visit could come as wine tariffs dropped Dr Herscovitch said there would be "a lot of contentious issues on the agenda for the foreign ministers, including everything from the Mr Yang's suspended death sentence to Beijing's efforts to convince Canberra to take a more permissive approach to Chinese investments".
