SYDNEY, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) -- Indonesian President Joko Widodo arrived in Sydney on Saturday with First Lady Iriana Widodo for a two-day visit.

Relations between Australia and Indonesia have been strained following a high-profile incident in early 2015 when two Australians were executed in Indonesia for drug trafficking.

Following the deaths, the Australian government removed its embassy staff from the country, but since then moves have been made by both sides to repair ties and boost trade.

"I look forward to my talks with President Widodo and returning the warm hospitality I enjoyed during my visit to Jakarta in 2015," Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said.

High on President Widodo's agenda will be discussion on free trade.

He will will meet with the New South Wales State Premier Gladys Berejiklian to discuss business and also converse with representatives for Macquarie Bank, BlueScope Steel and Blackmores.
