ASEAN - Australia - Regional Cooperation - Southeast Asia - Summit

Catch a glimpse of the ASEAN-Australia summit in Melbourne where leaders gather for strategic talks and development boosts!

Australia's Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, is currently hosting the second ASEAN-Australia Special Summit on home soil, strengthening ties with ASEAN member countries. The summit, attended by nine South-East Asian leaders, aims to foster collaboration on key issues such as clean energy transition and climate initiatives.

The Secretary-General of ASEAN visited the Business and Climate and Clean Energy Transition Forum, highlighting the importance of sustainable development and economic growth in the region. This event, held alongside the SME Conference, promotes innovation and cooperation among small and medium-sized enterprises.

Indonesia takes the lead in guiding the ASEAN agenda at the summit, emphasizing the significance of the association's 50th-anniversary celebrations. The formal elevation of ties to a Strategic Partnership, announced by Albanese and President Marcos, signifies a milestone in the Australia-ASEAN relationship.

In a strategic move, Australia pledges an additional $262.5 million for maritime and development programs in Southeast Asia. This boost reflects Australia's commitment to enhancing security and promoting sustainable growth in the region, reinforcing its partnership with ASEAN.
