Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will travel to Singapore from 9 to 11 April 2026 where he will meet with Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

Leaders will continue discussions on securing trade in essential supplies, including petroleum oils, such as diesel and liquefied natural gas.

The visit will continue the Government’s regional engagements to keep fuel supply flowing by strengthening fuel access for Australia.

Australia and Singapore share a strong energy trade relationship. Australia is Singapore’s second largest supplier of liquefied natural gas and Singapore is Australia’s largest supplier of refined petroleum products.

Singapore is also Australia’s largest two-way trade partner and investor in Southeast Asia, and one of our closest strategic and economic partners.

This visit follows Australia and Singapore’s joint commitment to keep fuel flowing between both countries, and to work together to strengthen energy supply chain resilience.

Together, we share concern over the situation in the Middle East, including consequences for our region and its prolonged impact on energy supply chains and prices.

Australia and Singapore share a deep strategic trust, respect and shared global outlook, underpinned by our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership 2.0.
