Australia and Singapore share longstanding and multifaceted relations, elevated by the establishment of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) in 2015. Australia was the first country to establish diplomatic relations with Singapore upon its independence in 1965. Both countries also work closely in multilateral fora and enjoy warm people-to-people relations.
Australia has a High Commission in Singapore, while Singapore has a High Commission in Canberra.[1][2] The Australian High Commission at 25 Napier Road was built between 1976 and 1977 to a design by prominent Australian firm Godfrey and Spowers.[3] Completed at a cost of AU$4.2 million, the high commission chancery was officially opened by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Andrew Peacock, on 21 January 1977.[4]
The two nations have an annual meeting between the Prime Ministers, the most recent being the 7th Singapore-Australia Annual Leaders' Meeting in Singapore in June 2023. They also hold biennial high-level talks through the Singapore-Australia Joint Ministerial Committee (SAJMC), the latest being the 13th SAJMC meeting in Canberra, Australia in 2023.
