Australia, Singapore leaders pledge closer energy ties to tackle global supply shock
The leaders also agreed to accelerate a legally binding protocol on economic resilience and essential supplies, with Singapore saying refined fuel exports will continue.
- On Friday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Prime Minister Lawrence Wong agreed to fast-track a legally binding protocol on economic resilience and essential supplies covering energy and critical sectors.
- Rising global energy prices and supply chain disruptions caused by the Middle East conflict prompted the leaders to formalize their commitment, pledging to 'make maximum efforts to meet each other's energy security needs.'
- Albanese toured Jurong Island's energy facilities on Friday, visiting the Singapore LNG Terminal and Singapore Refining Company, where Singapore provides 16 per cent of Australia's diesel and Australia supplies 32 per cent of Singapore's liquefied natural gas.

- The protocol builds upon the Singapore-Australia Free Trade Agreement, first signed in 2003 and updated in 2020, and the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership 2.0, positioning both nations to manage long-term supply chain resilience.
