Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will meet with Chinese Premier Li Qiang on the sidelines of the Asean summit in Jakarta on Thursday, in the latest sign of warming relations between Canberra and Beijing.

The Australian leader was initially intending to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the Group of 20 summit in India later this week. However, with Xi no longer attending the gathering, Albanese will meet with the Chinese government’s second-in-command on Thursday morning.
