In the first 12 months of the Albanese Government, several media outlets noted Wong's influence on a perceived reengagement of Australian diplomacy, not merely as a result of her being the first Asian-Australian Foreign Minister, but also due to her busy travel itinerary.[1][2][3][4]

  1. ^ Simons, Margaret (1 October 2022). "Penny Wong Wants Australia to Be More Than a Supporting Player". Foreign Policy. In government for just four months, Wong has already overseen an extraordinary surge in international engagement. The day after being sworn in, new Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Wong were in Tokyo for the Quad summit, quickly followed by Albanese's first visit as Prime Minister to Indonesia. Meanwhile, in the administration's first 100 days, Wong made four separate trips to the Pacific (Fiji, Samoa and Tonga, New Zealand and the Solomon Islands, and July's Pacific Islands Forum summit) and three trips to Southeast Asia (Vietnam and Malaysia, followed by Singapore and Indonesia twice).
  2. ^ Maude, Richard (11 November 2022). "South-East Asia and the Wong doctrine". The Australia Financial Review. The seemingly tireless Wong has already visited Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Cambodia, Brunei, Thailand, and East Timor.
  3. ^ Knott, Matthew (24 December 2022). "Penny Wong is making waves, despite the odd wipeout". The Sydney Morning Herald. In the seven months since Labor took office, Wong has maintained a prodigious travel schedule, making 28 overseas trips to 24 countries (some countries have received two visits).
  4. ^ Hurst, Daniel (16 May 2023). "Australia 'diminished': Penny Wong's frenetic mission to repair regional ties". The Guardian. After Wong flies from Laos to the Philippines on Tuesday, she will have visited every member of the Pacific Island Forum and every member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) except for military-ruled Myanmar in her first year in office... Wong initially says she "would anticipate a different intensity of travel over the next year" – but then she stops to look at her diary. The minister lets out a nervous laugh. "I'm not sure it's much less to be honest."
