Australia Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Wednesday if a meeting is arranged with China's President Xi Jinping it would be a positive thing.

"I’ve made it very clear that dialogue is a good thing, and if a meeting is arranged with Xi, then that would be a positive thing," Albanese told a news conference. "We’re organizing a range of meetings but they haven’t been finalized," he added, in reference to a series of overseas summits including the G20 he is attending.
