Senator Hill visited Beijing, Nanjing and Shanghai in China in June 2005. He met with the Chinese Defence Minister, Cao Gangchuan, and other senior defence officials.
"This visit will be an opportunity to discuss further cooperation between the Australian Defence Force and the People's Liberation Army in areas of mutual interest such as counter terrorism," Senator Hill said.
Australia's defence engagement with China covers a wide range of activities, including senior level visits, strategic dialogue and educational exchanges.
