SYDNEY, Australia – Australia will host leaders from Southeast Asia’s ASEAN bloc in Melbourne next March for a special summit to commemorate 50 years of relations, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Wednesday, September 6, as he announced a new investment strategy for the region.
Albanese has travelled to Jakarta for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit at a time when Australia is strengthening relations across Asia in a bid to build economic and diplomatic alternatives to China. ASEAN was vital to Australia’s future, Albanese said in a speech to the summit. “This is where, working together, the peace, stability and security of this region – and the Indo-Pacific – can be assured.”
