Australia PM Albanese offers climate assistance, stronger ties in Indonesia visit

The leaders of Australia and Indonesia discussed stronger Indo-Pacific cooperation, security, and climate change during a meeting on Monday, which included the offer by Canberra of a $200 million climate partnership.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met with President Joko Widodo on Monday as part of a trip to shore-up relations between the two neighbors, in his first bilateral visit since being elected last month. Albanese also offered technical assistance for Indonesia’s green, high-tech new
