United States

The United States is one of Australia’s oldest and most trusted partners, with collaboration spanning foreign policy, defence, energy, education, and trade. The AUKUS security partnership with the US and the UK reinforces their shared commitment to maintaining a stable Indo-Pacific. As the region faces growing pressure from rising strategic competition and regional tensions, our research and programs examine both the opportunities and challenges in the bilateral relationship — particularly given Western Australia’s strategic role in shaping the future of AUKUS.
