Must read

Chinese Premier Li Qiang says relations between China and Australia are “back on track” after arriving in Adelaide on Saturday.

His visit is the first by a Chinese premier in seven years, and is expected to pave the way for President Xi Jinping’s first journey to Australia since 2014.

Australia is “uniquely positioned to connect the West and the East” and stands as “an important force of economic globalisation and world multi-polarity”, Mr Li said at Adelaide’s airport.

Bilateral relations are “back on track after a period of twists and turns”, Mr Li added.

Mr Li was greeted at Adelaide Airport by Foreign Minister Penny Wong, a senator for South Australia.
