Turnbull Urges China's Li to Expedite Tests of Australian Coal

Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull asked Chinese Premier Li Keqiang to speed up environmental tests of the sulfur content of Australian coal shipments that are disrupting trade and depressing prices.

“Australian coal generally has very low sulfur so there’s no bad news in that for Australian coal exporters,” Turnbull told reporters in Kuala Lumpur Sunday. “There have, however, been some administrative difficulties in the way the testing has been managed.”
