The Secretary and the Foreign Minister hailed the longstanding U.S.-Australia Alliance as foundational to international security and prosperity, and to a secure and prosperous Indo-Pacific region free from coercion. Both discussed efforts to continue security cooperation through AUKUS and bilateral defense initiatives, and to enhance our partnership on critical minerals and global supply chain security. The Secretary and the Foreign Minister agreed on the importance of utilizing the U.S.-Australia Alliance to its full extent to maximize opportunities in the Indo-Pacific, working closely with other allies and partners, including in Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
