His Excellency Mr. Li Keqiang Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China

His Excellency Mr Li Keqiang Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China visited the APH on 23–24 March 2017.

Planning for this visit began several weeks prior to the event, with senior Parliamentary Security Service officers and Australian Federal Police personnel attending meetings at the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, with a large number of Embassy staff and other relevant stakeholders present. Also prior to the visit, PSS officers at the loading dock were involved in screening large volumes of equipment associated with the visit.

The official delegation consisted of approximately 129 members entering the building over the two days.

PSS officers managed the security demands at APH which included screening of the members of the delegation each time they entered the building and providing route security as the Official Party moved throughout the building to attend the various events.

As part of the activities attended by our international guests and Australian counterparts, the APH Catering and Events team supported arrangements for the official reception, and catered for various events over the two days.

In addition to the normal busy sitting day at the main entrance of APH, PSS officers screened an additional 500 guests attending the Official Luncheon held in the Great Hall.
