Taiwan interested in critical-minerals trade with Australia

Taiwan's representative to Australia, Douglas Hsu, spoke to ABC RN just earlier about China's military drills around Taiwan and trading with Australia.

We will continue to show our interest in engaging with Australia on the trade front. I think in the past few months, especially on critical minerals, I had a few opportunities to travel to West Australia and Northern Territory to talk with the businessman in the critical minerals industries.

I found that well, first of all, I was very surprised or impressed by the scale of Australia's mining industry, and we'll definitely look forward to bringing more Taiwanese business to work even more closely with Australian partners.

It's really about ensuring services can do early work that can stop children from experiencing harm, helping kids before they get to crisis point and intervening early to break that cycle of violence and abuse.
