Summary / Abstract (Note) | FROM CONVOY GUARDIANS, through Cold War tensions, to partners in the Asia-Pacific, Australia-Russia relations have come a long way in 70 years. The relationship between Australia and Russia long pre-dates the establishment of diplomatic relations 70 years ago. It reaches back to the first arrival of a Russian vessel in an Australian port more than two centuries ago. It spans the conflicts of the Crimean War of the 19th century, and the World Wars and Cold War of the last century. In this century it has developed to include increased trade between our two countries; cooperation in the Asia-Pacific through APEC and the East Asia Summit; and cooperation globally through the G20 and the World Trade Organisation. |
