Doorstop - Brunei Darussalam

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Well, it's a great honour to be here in Brunei, and the first thing that myself and the Foreign Minister have done is to pay respect to the Australian servicemen who landed here on the beach in 1945 as part of the liberation of Borneo and the efforts that Australian servicemen made during World War II. The incredible sacrifice. And we're here paying our respects, as we do. Over the next - tomorrow, I'm very much looking forward to meeting with His Majesty the Sultan of Brunei and having the opportunity to reinforce what is a very constructive and positive relationship between our two nations. One, where Brunei is an important supplier of fertiliser, and of 9 per cent of our diesel to Australia. And Australia is a reliable supplier of food and other products here in Brunei as well. This is an important relationship in our region. I look forward to constructive engagement tomorrow. Thanks.
