220705 SPEECH - High Commissioner Lee speech to Asia Pacific Roundtable

6 Jul 2022

The cultural connections between Australia and Malaysia and Australia and the region are extraordinary. [...] But what sort of region are we living in? And how can we work together to make our region the best it can be? We are diverse nations, but we all agree that we want to live in a region that is stable, prosperous and respectful of sovereignty. [...] And we think we can do more through complementary trade to benefit both our economies, for example by value adding to some of our raw materials in Malaysia and other countries of the region. [...] Australia has been a strong and consistent advocate for the importance of adherence to international law and particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea – UNCLOS – now 40 years old. [...] We see opportunities to work with the region in the transition to net zero, working together to build resilient clean energy sectors and at the same time delivering next generation jobs and growth.
