Australia, China agree on pathway to end remaining trade restrictions
SYDNEY, June 6 (Reuters) — China and Australia have set out a pathway to resolve all remaining trade restrictions during a recent meeting in Beijing, Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell said on Tuesday.
“One of the things we did at our face to face meeting a few weeks ago in Beijing was set down a pathway to resolving all of the outstanding disputes,” Farrell told Sky News. (Reporting by Lewis Jackson; Editing by Christian Schmollinger)

Talks are well underway in preparation for the next major international meeting on climate change, 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28), scheduled to begin Nov. 30 in the United Arab Emirates.
Much like last year’s COP27, finances — specifically, aid to developing nations — will be at the center of conference deliberations.
The conference faces an even greater sense of urgency brought on by the Sept. 8, 2023, release of the first global stocktake, which calls for accelerated action to meet the goals set in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement (COP21).
