Aus PM sees security cooperation with Japan

STORY: "I see areas of cooperation is increasing in defence and national security issues, and our common interest in keeping the Indo-Pacific region free, open, and peaceful, but I also see an enormous opportunity in doing what our countries have done for LNG in other areas including in green hydrogen" he told Kishida at the start of a bilateral meeting.

Albanese, the leader of Australia's Labor Party who was sworn in as his country's 31st prime minister a day earlier, flew to Tokyo to attend his first Quad summit that consists of other leaders from the United States, Japan and India.

Albanese also held his first meeting as leader with U.S. President Joe Biden prior to his meeting with Kishida.
