Australia and China have agreed to improve communications between their respective armed forces in a bid to avoid future standoffs, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said after hosting Premier Li Qiang in Canberra.
In the wake of several near-misses between Australian and Chinese vessels and aircraft, Albanese said the two governments would look at ways to boost military-to-military links “to avoid incidents.” He said there are no further details as yet, and officials will look at the best way to make the changes.
