Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has arrived in Wellington, New Zealand on Sunday morning to start his official visit to the country.

During his four-day stay in New Zealand, Premier Li Keqiang is expected to meet his New Zealand counterpart Bill English, Governor-General Patsy Reddy and other officials to exchange views on bilateral cooperation and comprehensive strategic partnership in a new era. Li will also pay a visit to Auckland for a number of business and cultural exchange activities.

The official visit comes as both nations mark the 45th anniversary of China-New Zealand relations. New Zealand is the first of the Oceanic countries to be visited since Li took office as Chinese premier in 2013.
