The Prime Minister reaffirmed Australia's commitment to an open, rules-based multilateral trading system and called for members to take action on climate change, increase disaster preparedness and seize the economic opportunities of the clean energy transition.
The Prime Minister also agreed with the leaders of India and Canada to enter into a new trilateral technology and innovation partnership. The three countries will strengthen their ambition in cooperation on critical and emerging technologies, with an emphasis on green energy and building more resilient supply chains, including for critical minerals.
