Australia will engage with US plans to accelerate the construction of AUKUS nuclear submarines, says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, as Tony Abbott calls for new submarines to be delivered as soon as possible to meet the threat of China’s growing fleet.
A decision on the best way forward is expected by March. AUKUS and Quad meetings are due to be held by early next year, with Albanese hosting US President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Australia for the Quad leaders dialogue. Anthony Albanese along with Malcolm Turnbull, Tony Abbott and John Howard met with Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo.“The quicker we can get either a [UK] Astute-based or a [US] Virginia-based Australian nuclear submarine, the better,” he told“And in the meantime if we can get a retired British or American submarine as an operational training base that would be well worth doing as well.
“We share a common goal and bond as it relates to our dedication to peace and security in the Indo-Pacific,” she said.
