Australia’s defence minister will be visiting Europe this week to boost defence ties with France, Germany and Britain
Australia’s defence minister on Sunday said he aims to deepen defence ties with France, Germany and Britain during visits to the European partners this week, saying war in Ukraine has increased the importance of cooperation with likeminded nations.
Australia in June reached a 555 million euro settlement with French military shipyard Naval Group over its scrapping of a multi-billion dollar submarine deal last year. “Our relationship with the United Kingdom is both historic and mutually beneficial, and is reflected through our continued commitment to AUKUS,” Marles said.
Also on Sunday, Foreign Minister Penny Wong said she would travel this week to nearby Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste. From PNG, Wong will travel on Wednesday to Timor-Leste and meet officials including President Jose Ramos-Horta, Prime Minister Taur Matan Ruak and Foreign Minister Adaljiza Magno.
