Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese held talks with Chinese counterpart Li Qiang focusing on regional energy security against the backdrop of China's fuel export ban amid the Iran conflict.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese engaged in discussions with Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Tuesday, addressing concerns about regional energy security amidst China's recent ban on fuel exports.

Despite regional calls for leniency, China remains firm but considers conditional exceptions. Cooperation on clean energy and electric vehicles was also highlighted during this crucial dialogue ahead of the APEC Leaders' Meeting in November.
