AUSTRALIA and Singapore signed a green economy agreement here on Tuesday.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hosted his Singaporean counterpart, Lee Hsien Loong, for talks in Canberra where the pair signed the agreement.

Speaking after their meeting, Albanese said the deal would support clean energy innovation between the two nations.
