Chinese Premier Li arrives in Australia, says ties 'back on track'

SYDNEY — Chinese Premier Li Qiang arrived in Australia on Saturday, saying relations were "back on track" as he started the first visit by a Chinese premier to the major trading partner in seven years. Australia is "uniquely positioned to connect the West and the East" and stands as "an important force of economic globalization and world multipolarity," Li said at Adelaide's airport, according to a statement from the Chinese embassy. Bilateral relations are "back on track after a period of twists and turns," Li said.
