An Australian industry, government, academic and media delegation will travel to Beijing for dialogue with Chinese counterparts on Thursday, Foreign Minister Penny Wong said on Saturday.

Australia’s former Labor trade minister Craig Emerson will head the Australian delegation, which will include former Liberal foreign minister Julie Bishop, to show bipartisan political support, Wong’s office said.

Trade, investment, regional and international security will be discussed, it said. “This is first time the Dialogue has been held since early 2020 and it represents another step towards increasing bilateral engagement and stabilising our relationship with China,” it said.
