UK and Australia sign Aukus treaty to build nuclear submarines as Lammy downplays US doubts
"The recently signed Geelong Treaty establishes a long-term collaboration between Australia and the UK for the design and construction of nuclear-powered submarines under the Aukus agreement."
"This treaty will lead to a united defense industrial base between the UK and Australia, allowing for a reciprocal exchange of submarine construction work and related technologies."
Australia and the UK have finalized a 50-year treaty called the Geelong Treaty to reinforce the Aukus pact focused on designing and building new nuclear-powered submarines. Signed by Defence Ministers Richard Marles and John Healey, this treaty will facilitate collaboration on the SSN-Aukus submarines, covering aspects like design, operation, and workforce training. It aims to establish a defense industrial base that promotes joint projects, enabling Australian and British companies to support each other's submarine construction efforts, while also addressing strategic roles for both nations in the Indo-Pacific region.
