آسٹریلیا اور یوکے کے درمیان تاریخی پانچ دہائی نیوکلیئر غوطہ غوطہ معاہدہ، امریکی ابہام کے درمیان

Australia and the United Kingdom have signed a landmark 50-year treaty to deepen their cooperation on building and operating nuclear-powered submarines under the AUKUS alliance. This agreement, known as the Geelong Treaty, aims to secure long-term defense collaboration and industrial growth between the two nations, even as the US reviews its commitment to the broader AUKUS pact. The deal is seen as a strategic move to counter growing Chinese military influence in the Asia-Pacific region and to demonstrate the seriousness of the UK and Australia’s defense partnership regardless of US political shifts. Australia has also made significant financial contributions to support the AUKUS industrial base, highlighting its commitment to the alliance. The treaty underscores the importance of strong bilateral ties and defense sovereignty in an increasingly volatile global landscape.
