LONDON, June 17- Queen Elizabeth II welcomed Chinese Premier Li Keqiang to Windsor Castle on Tuesday on a visit to Britain which aims to repair strained relations between London and Beijing.
Dozens of Chinese were waiting outside the mediaeval castle, west of London, to greet Li on the first full day of his three day visit to Britain.
Queen Elizabeth, 88, welcomed the 48 year old premier with a smile and a handshake as they met in the castle’s White Drawing Room.
They were joined by Li’s wife Cheng Hong, and Prince Andrew, the queen’s second son, who works to promote the creation of skilled jobs in Britain.
Andrew, the Duke of York, greeted Li and his party when they arrived at Windsor Castle in limousines.
