#Armenia‘s Security Council head participates in the #Ukraine Peace Summit, seated next to the U.S. (Kamala Harris) with the Ukraine’s Zelensky on the other side. Not sure if the seating means anything. It definitely is not in alphabetical order.

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.
Australia is the biggest supplier of iron ore to China, which has been an investor in Australian mining projects, although some recent Chinese investment in critical minerals has been blocked by Australia on national interest grounds.
China imposed trade restrictions on a raft of Australian agricultural and mineral products in 2020 during a diplomatic dispute that has now largely eased.
During his four-day visit, Li will also visit the capital, Canberra, and mining state Western Australia.
“A more mature, stable and fruitful comprehensive strategic partnership will be a treasure shared by the people of both countries,” Li said.
He is expected to visit a pair of pandas on loan from China to Adelaide’s zoo on Sunday. A lunch with wine exporters, until recently shut out of the Chinese market.
Li arrived from New Zealand, where he highlighted Chinese demand for New Zealand’s agricultural products.
China is the biggest trading partner of Australia and New Zealand. Canberra and Wellington are seeking to balance trade with regional security concerns over China’s ambitions in the Pacific Islands.
In New Zealand, Li visited major dairy exporter Fonterra on Saturday after signing agreements with Prime Minister Christopher Luxon on trade and climate change, with human rights and foreign interference also on the agenda.

White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Saturday that Russia’s latest peace proposal for Ukraine would lead to further domination of the country and is a “completely absurd vision.”
He also told reporters China’s absence from the Ukraine Peace Summit is probably a result of entreaties from Russia not to attend.
World leaders gathered at a Swiss mountain resort on Saturday to try to build support for Ukraine’s peace proposals at a summit skipped by US President Joe Biden, shunned by China and dismissed as a waste of time by Moscow.
