Anthony Albanese has wrapped up his first G20 summit since becoming prime minister, stating that the event was successful and cooperative.

The meeting of leaders from all of the world’s major economies have in Bali has concluded, following two days of discussions. 

Australia joined fellow G20 nations in condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Mr Albanese talked up the nation’s strong links to Europe, commitment to clean energy, and pandemic preparation. 

The prime minister said it was the first time a statement regarding Ukraine had been delivered by members of the G20. 

At his final day of summit talks, the Albanese reportedly pushed to progress trade deals with Europe.

Putting his Italian heritage front and centre during talks with his European colleagues, the prime minister sought to progress discussions of Australia’s free trade agreement with the European Union.

Meeting his new Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni for the first time in an informal pull-aside, Mr Albanese discussed his connection to Italy, and the strength of trade relationships that could be grown.

Meloni was elected Italy’s first female premier in October, with her Fratelli D’Italia party having spearheaded Italy’s right wing coalition to a landslide victory. 

The summit’s schedule was initially overshadowed by reports of a missile explosion in Poland, close to the border of Ukraine. 

A leaders’ statement released at the end of the summit said that “most members” wholeheartedly condemned Russia’s invasion.  

Mr Albanese said reports about the missile attacks, which killed two people near the Ukrainian border, were “deeply concerning.”

“We need to have a full investigation as to how this has occurred ... and then we should consider what, as an international community, is an appropriate response,” he said. 

Earlier, the prime minister had met European Council president Charles Michel and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen on the sidelines of the summit.

“Australia has such strong ties with Europe. Indeed, we have a prime minister with a name like Albanese and a large diaspora in Australia from throughout Europe,” Mr Albanese said.

The prime minister wrapped up his time in Bali by taking part in formal bilateral meetings with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, French President Emmanuel Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

He is set to fly to Thailand today for APEC, the third and final economic forum of this year’s summit season.
