Prime Minister Albanese and His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei Darussalam met in Canberra today to elevate the Australia-Brunei Darussalam relationship to a Comprehensive Partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The elevation of our bilateral relationship demonstrates the practical steps that Australia is taking to strengthen ties with our Southeast Asian neighbours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Comprehensive Partnership articulates our shared aspirations for a peaceful and prosperous region, and our respect for international law, sovereignty, open markets and ASEAN Centrality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under this new Partnership, Australia and Brunei Darussalam will work together on a range of issues including trade and investment, maritime security, education, the transition to net-zero and increased food security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Partnership will also see our countries deepen longstanding defence cooperation. To reflect our defence partnership and shared aspirations for a peaceful and stable region, His Majesty will travel to Darwin to visit Robertson Barracks and meet Australian Defence Force personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I am pleased to embark on a Comprehensive Partnership with Brunei Darussalam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The Partnership offers a chance to cooperate on the net-zero transition in the region, strengthen trade ties, and deepen cooperation on defence and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It affirms our shared support for ASEAN as the region’s central platform for open, transparent and rules-based dialogue.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
