China and Australia will re-start stalled free trade talks within the next few days, Australia’s treasurer said during a visit on Wednesday.
An 11th round of talks on a free trade agreement (FTA) will take place in Beijing in “a few days,” Wayne Swan told Communist Party officials, according to the text of his speech at the Central Party School.
“China and Australia have agreed to give new urgency and attention to the FTA discussions,” it said.
The new round of talks will begin June 16 and will last five days, an Australian embassy official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
