In addition, Assistant Minister Ayres shared Australia's Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040, which was unveiled by the Australian Prime Minister in September 2023, on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit in Jakarta.

In this regard, the Indonesian Vice Minister invited Australia to synergize this strategy with the existing ASEAN mechanisms in the digital economy and energy transition. (WHY)
