Thank you @RichardMarlesMP and thank you Geelong for hosting this historic signing. The Geelong Treaty is another demonstration of our enduring 🇬🇧- 🇦🇺partnership. 🇬🇧🤝🇦🇺
This afternoon I met with the UK Secretary of State for Defence @JohnHealey_MP to sign The Geelong Treaty - a historic agreement between Australia and the United Kingdom that will enable us to collaborate closely to deliver AUKUS over the next fifty years. Our close friendship…
Today was a great example of the diverse relationship between the UK and Australia. From a treaty signing in Geelong, to discussions at the @LowyInstitute, and supporting our sides at the @MCG We are strong partners and stronger friends. 🇬🇧🤝🇦🇺 @Wallabies @lionsofficial
Celebrating the next 50 years of mateship! 🇬🇧🇦🇺

Australia and the UK are longstanding partners and we're working together with renewed purpose to advance our shared interests. Fantastic to welcome @DavidLammy to Sydney ahead of the Australia-UK Ministerial Consultations (AUKMIN) as we continue this work.
Our historic defence relationship with Australia – from our work to support Ukraine, share vital intelligence and develop innovative technology – makes us secure at home and strong abroad. @JohnHealey_MP & @DavidLammy have arrived in Australia to deepen those ties further. 🇬🇧🇦🇺
Welcome to Australia @JohnHealey_MP 🇦🇺🇬🇧 Excited to host the UK Secretary of State for Defence for the next few days as we discuss our countries’ close defence relationship.
The UK-Australia partnership is an anchor in a dangerous world. Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy & Defence Secretary @JohnHealey_MP are at #AUKMIN, where they agreed with Australia to deepen cooperation on defence and security with @RichardMarlesMP and @SenatorWong. @SarahMacFCDO
Friends in defence and trade - boosting jobs and economic growth for Brits and Aussies. Great to be with @SenatorWong, @AlboMP, @RichardMarlesMP and @JohnHealey_MP in Sydney at our 15th AUKMIN.
We plan together. We train together. We fight together. 🇬🇧🇦🇺 From joint operations in the Indo-Pacific to the AUKUS submarine programme, the defence partnership the UK and Australia share is strengthening global security and driving growth at home.
