Australia and China said they will work together to repair their bilateral relationship, tarnished by allegations that Beijing has committed cyberattacks and has attempted to interfere in Canberra's domestic affairs.

"I feel very strongly and committed to improving that relationship and ensuring we realize its full potential," Morrison told Li ahead of the meeting, according to a transcript seen by Reuters.
