Don Farrell, the tourism and trade minister of Australia, visited China on May 11, 2023. The trip comes as an effort to restore ties between the nations.
China is Australia’s biggest trading partner, with two-way exchanges totaling $287 billion in 2022. China recently resumed imports of coal, cotton and copper from Australia after a lengthy unannounced trade embargo.
Farrell said he would push for a review of tariffs on Australian barley and represent "the interests of Australian exporters and producers."
