Melbourne (ANTARA News/Asia Pulse) - Rio Tinto Ltd's (ASX:RIO) chief executive Tom Albanese says he is respectfully awaiting the outcome of China's legal process as a trial begins of four of the global miner's employees.

Mr Albanese, speaking in Beijing on the same day the four, including Australian man Stern Hu begin trial in China for bribery and trade secrets charges, said the issue was of "great concern to us". "I can only say we respectfully await the outcome of the Chinese legal process," Mr Albanese told the China Development Forum.

Mr Albanese said the recent announcement that Rio Tinto would work with Aluminum Corporation of China (Chinalco) (SEHK:2600; SSE:601600) to develop the massive Simandou iron ore project in West Africa showed the company was working to resolve problems with China.
