Good morning everyone and welcome to our rolling coverage of the day’s news. Chinese premier Li Qiang continues his visit of Australia today, having touched down yesterday in Adelaide. This is the first visit by a Chinese premier in seven years, after diplomatic tensions ratcheted up under the previous government. But yesterday Li said relations between the two countries are “back on track after a period of twists and turns”.
The four-day visit, which will also take in Western Australia and Canberra, is expected to pave the way for President Xi Jinping’s first journey to Australia since 2014. Li is expected to visit Adelaide zoo today, which is the home to Fu Ni and Wang Wang, two giant pandas currently on loan to the zoo from China. The pandas were loaned to Adelaide zoo in 2009, and are the only giant pandas in the southern hemisphere.
