The Prime Minister met with Australian Prime Minister Anthony
Albanese at the NATO Summit in Madrid today- their first
in-person meeting since PM Albanese was elected.
A Downing Street spokesperson:
“The Prime Minister met Australian Prime Minister Anthony
Albanese at the NATO Summit in Madrid today.
“The Prime Minister welcomed Australia’s participation in the
Summit as the largest non-NATO contributor.
“The leaders agreed on the importance of supporting Ukraine and
ensuring Putin’s vainglorious conquest ends in failure.
Protecting human rights and territorial sovereignty is in
everyone’s interests, and the ramifications of Putin’s action and
our response will be felt around the world.
“The Prime Minister and Prime Minister Albanese both welcomed the
AUKUS pact, which is promoting stability and security across the
Indo-Pacific. They looked forward to working more together to
boost prosperity and create jobs in both our countries, including
when the UK-Australia Free Trade Agreement comes into force.
“The Prime Minister welcomed Australia’s enhanced climate NDC.
The leaders agreed that Australia has incredible potential to be
a world-leader in the use of renewables and make the hyper leap
away from coal and other fossil fuels. The leaders also agreed on
the need to help developing countries grow in a clean and
sustainable way.”
