SYDNEY/TOKYO -- Japan and Australia should "update" their economic partnership centered on Australia's natural resources, particularly coal, as they commit to a carbon-neutral future, said New South Wales Premier Chris Minns at an event in Sydney on Monday.

Business leaders and policymakers met for the Nikkei Forum, the first event held by the Japanese media company in Australia in nine years, at the Hyatt Regency hotel.
