Australia, Asean future interlinked, says Penny Wong

PUTRAJAYA: Southeast Asia will remain an important region to Australia, says the country’s foreign minister Penny Wong, who also emphasised the new Australian government’s commitment to Asean centrality.

Wong, who is currently on a three-day official visit to Malaysia, said on Tuesday that Australia’s future is interlinked with both Asean and Southeast Asia’s future.

“We share the same future because we share the same region, and that is how we will approach relationships and many of the challenges we face,” she said.
