Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will use a speech on Wednesday to emphasise that Australia’s destiny lies in the Asia-Pacific region. He will also tell ASEAN leaders that Australia is committed to working with them to ensure that the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity, equality and independence are upheld. Albanese held meetings with the leaders of Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and Timor Leste on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit in Melbourne on Tuesday. Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong told Albanese that Australia’s future fleet of nuclear-powered submarines will be welcome to visit the Changi naval base. He also urged China to drop its remaining trade sanctions against Australia.
