We value our enduring defence and security partnership which has been strengthened with the 2020 Treaty on Military Training and Training Area Development. Building on the successful joint development of the expanded Shoalwater Bay Training Area (SWBTA), we will enhance our respective militaries' reciprocal access to defence facilities in Australia and Singapore. This will include expanded access for the Australian Defence Force (ADF) in Singapore in support of its regional presence and increased access for the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) to training areas in Australia, including SWBTA.
We will further strengthen defence cooperation by:
5.1 Deepening and increasing the complexity of defence science and technology collaboration;
5.2 Expanding professional defence exchanges and collaboration between both militaries; and
5.3 Enhancing mutual collaboration and strengthening linkages between our defence supply chains and logistics ecosystems.
