Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese marked Remembrance Day during a Singapore stopover on his way to U.N. climate talks, placing a wreath early Wednesday at the Changi Chapel and Museum with High Commissioner Robyn Mudie.

Albanese spoke about the approximately 15,000 Australians among those held, praising them while honoring Australia’s service members. The commemoration comes as Australia prepares for Nov. 11 events and a nationwide minute of silence, and as 11 families learn the identities of World War I relatives previously counted among missing Anzacs.
