Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell emphasized the importance of 'patience' in trade relations with China during an interview with Euronews. He highlighted Australia's focus on maintaining peaceful trade policies, especially after a tumultuous period with China from 2020 to 2022, which saw significant trade disputes. The EU is currently reassessing its trade strategy with China amidst a record trade deficit. Farrell noted that the new Australian government has worked to resolve previous trade impediments and has successfully signed a free trade agreement with the EU.
