Morrison Going To Promote AUKUS Agreement to U.S. Congress

Former Australian Prime Minister Morrison recently announced that he will go to the U.S. Congress to promote AUKUS, a trilateral defense cooperation agreement between Australia, the U.S., and the U.K. Morrison emphasized that the agreement is a key strategic initiative to safeguard the security and stability of the Indo-Pacific region.

He pointed out that as China’s military influence in the region expands, Australia must work closely with its allies to strengthen intelligence sharing and military technology exchanges to effectively address regional security challenges. Morrison’s goal for this trip is to strengthen the defense relationship with the United States and gain more congressional support to ensure the smooth progress of the AUKUS program.

In addition, Morrison plans to meet with a number of members of Congress and policymakers to brief them on the progress of AUKUS in areas such as nuclear submarine technology transfer, cybersecurity cooperation, and joint military exercises, emphasizing that these collaborative efforts will enhance the three countries’ strategic position in the global security architecture. He will also outline Australia’s long-term commitment to peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region and explore how bilateral and multilateral cooperation can work together to address future security threats.
