Can I say initially although our deep condolences in relation to the horrible twister impacts in the USA, the information may be very distressing. These items all the time occur on the most terrible time of yr, and I really feel deeply for these households who’re impacted and I convey Australia’s deepest sympathies.
However we now have achieved an important deal in 2021, whether or not it’s the announcement of Aukus, a very necessary trilateral partnership that Australia has with the USA and the UK and the outcomes of our first Quad leaders assembly in particular person, held however Covid however withstanding the entire challenges, and the actually sensible actions that allows us to take and work with companions within the area.
And I do know that you just and I and our associates from Japan and India actually worth these engagements. They’re now cemented into our future, whether or not it’s the Quad, whether or not it’s Aukus and the concrete that that’s the Australia — United States Alliance, for us, underpins all of that effort. So trying ahead to speaking this night and nice to be right here, again for the G7+.
