Malcolm Turnbull has joined New Zealand counterpart Jacinda Ardern in Vietnam to commemorate Remembrance Day.

The leaders attended a modest service at their hotel in Da Nang on Saturday, on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, laying poppies on a table displaying the headwear of armed service members.

The brief "private moment of reflection" marked the 99th anniversary of the armistice which ended the First World War.

"Today Australians and New Zealanders remember every ANZAC serviceman and woman who has made a supreme sacrifice to keep our nations free," Mr Turnbull told those gathered.
