Criminal networks in crosshairs as Australia and Thailand deepen ties
From scam syndicates to fuel security, Australia and Thailand have mapped out a closer strategic partnership.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul have strengthened their nations' cooperation in combating transnational crime. They also pledged to enhance defense and trade ties during a meeting in Canberra. The two countries will hold biannual defense minister meetings, according to the joint statement.
In a move to support Australia's energy security, Albanese mentioned Thailand's generous offer of jet fuel access amid supply-chain disruptions caused by the U.S.-led war on Iran.
