Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will commence a two-day official visit to Singapore tomorrow, in the wake of the two nations’ recent fuel supply agreement. Albanese will visit a major oil refinery hub at Jurong Island and meet with Singaporean counterpart Lawrence Wong. Senior government figures have indicated that the visit is primarily aimed at ensuring that Australia is not subjected to export controls in the event of new restrictions on global oil exports. Singapore accounts for 26 per cent of Australia’s refined oil, including 55 per cent of petrol imports and 15 per cent of diesel imports. Albanese also discussed the issue of energy security with Chinese Premier Li Qiang in a telephone conversation on Tuesday.
