Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is in Singapore to negotiate a new fuel agreement with his counterpart, Lawrence Wong. The talks aim to secure fuel supplies for Australia amid ongoing volatility in the Middle East.
Albanese arrived in Singapore on Thursday night for discussions scheduled for Friday. Singapore is Australia's largest supplier of refined petrol, and the prime minister is focused on ensuring continued supply as global oil markets face disruptions due to the conflict in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
