Australia proposes to grow trade ties at ASEAN forum

The Hindu  

Australia unveiled plans to ramp up investment in Southeast Asia on March 5, setting aside US$1.3 billion to bolster trade in a region of rising economic might. More than any other region, Southeast Asia is where Australia's future lies," Mr. Albanese told a business forum on the summit's sidelines. Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said the city-state would gladly host Australia's fleet of nuclear-powered submarines once they were up and running — an offer likely to raise Beijing's hackles. Southeast Asia's hunger for energy is largely fed by fossil fuels, while Australia remains one of the world's biggest exporters of gas and polluting thermal coal.
