The Andrews government will keep secret a deal it signed with Beijing aimed at fostering Chinaâs government involvement in Victorian infrastructure projects.
The 2017 agreement was signed separately to the recently cancelled Belt and Road framework and is being looked at by the Commonwealth to determine whether it contradicts Australiaâs foreign policy interests. The agreementâs aim is to facilitate public-private partnerships between the Victorian government and Chinese firms, which tend to be state-owned.
