On June 6, Albanese had a meeting with Indonesian President Joko Widodo, during which they discussed collaboration in trade, investment, climate change and security.
The leaders focused their discussion on economic ties, especially the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA), which came into force in 2020 but has yet to be implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
They also compared notes on regional and international issues of shared concern, including cooperation in ensuring regional security.
