Today, the leaders of the Australia-UK-US (AUKUS) partnership \u2013 Prime Minister Scott Morrison of Australia, Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom, and President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. of the United States \u2013 assessed progress under AUKUS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We reaffirmed our commitment to AUKUS and to a free and open Indo-Pacific. In light of Russia\u2019s unprovoked, unjustified, and unlawful invasion of Ukraine, we reiterated our unwavering commitment to an international system that respects human rights, the rule of law, and the peaceful resolution of disputes free from coercion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are pleased with the progress in our trilateral program for Australia to establish a conventionally armed, nuclear\u2011powered submarine capability. We are fully committed to establishing a robust approach to sharing naval propulsion technology with Australia that strengthens the global non-proliferation regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also committed today to commence new trilateral cooperation on hypersonics and counter-hypersonics, and electronic warfare capabilities, as well as to expand information sharing and to deepen cooperation on defense innovation. These initiatives will add to our existing efforts to deepen cooperation on cyber capabilities, artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and additional undersea capabilities. As our work progresses on these and other critical defense and security capabilities, we will seek opportunities to engage allies and close partners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
