AUKUS

AUKUS is a trilateral security partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, established in September 2021. Its primary goal is to enhance military cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region, especially amid rising geopolitical tensions, particularly with China's influence. A key element of AUKUS is the agreement for Australia to acquire nuclear-powered submarines, which will bolster its defense capabilities. The partnership also focuses on sharing advanced technologies in areas like cyber, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing, aiming to strengthen collective security and promote stability in the region.
