BEIJING: The top diplomats of China and Australia met in Beijing on Wednesday in a bid to restore high-level political contacts and return stability to a relationship that has experienced major turbulence in recent years.

Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong's visit comes on the anniversary of 50 years of official diplomatic relations between the two nations, a symbolic occasion the sides appear to hope would help maneuver ties back on track.
