Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong has said she will press for the release of two Australian citizens held in China, as she prepared to embark on a landmark visit to Beijing — the first top Australian diplomat to visit the country in four years.
In a sign of thawing relations between Australia and China, Canberra said on Tuesday that Wong would visit Beijing to mark the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations and will meet with the Chinese minister of foreign affairs, Wang Yi.
