This will be the first visit by a Chinese Premier to Australia since 2017.
SYDNEY - China's Premier Li Qiang will arrive in Australia on June 15, the first visit by a Chinese premier since 2017, in a sign of improving ties, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on June 11.
Both leaders will meet Australian and Chinese business leaders at a roundtable in Western Australia, Mr Albanese said at a media briefing in Canberra. Australia is the biggest supplier of iron ore to China and China has been an investor in Australian mining projects, though some recent Chinese investment in critical minerals has been blocked by Australia on national interest grounds.
Mr Albanese said he would like to see the remaining Chinese trade impediments on lobsters and seafood removed.Australian writer Yang Hengjun
