Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was in Malaysia this week, although the visit has been cut short by a day after an emergency back home linked to fuel supply concerns.

Malaysia exported RM48-and-a-half billion ringgit, while imports stood at just under RM30 billion ringgit. Beyond trade, the relationship runs deep in energy. We explore our mutual interests.
