The Strategic Significance of the Maritime Theatre in the Russia–Ukraine War - good morning X. Delighted and honoured this piece Dan Hallett and I penned is out with ⁦@RUSI_org⁩ flagship publication- a short thread about our argument: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

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…

A fantastic day: placing recent experiences in context; identifying common themes and different theatre specific articulations; the privilege to exchange views among genuine friends - when you know you can push each other a little more. And a truly welcoming atmosphere!

The UK is committed to supporting and maintaining the international rules-based order, working with partners across the Indo-Pacific. Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy spoke to the @LowyInstitute to discuss the UK's partnership with the Indo-Pacific.

This morning @CJOPSAustralia, Vice Admiral Justin Jones, AO, CSC, RAN, officially welcomed his joint operations counterparts to the #TalismanSabre25 Conclave.

The Conclave is an opportunity for participants from Exercise @TalismanSabre to work together and learn from each other to address shared security challenges #strongertogether

It is important to note that this report would not be possible without the Japan’s diligent and frequent @jointstaffpa public releases. @MoNDefense is missing out on the opportunity to engage with the public about China’s increasing capabilities. @bikhim @ChingteLai

Fantastic to see @HMSPWLS arrived in Darwin, Australia. A demonstration of 🇬🇧 commitment to the Indo-Pacific and to our great partnership with Australia. 🇬🇧🤝🇦🇺

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

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. 🇬🇧🇦🇺

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.

A great meeting between two great countries. 🇦🇺PM @AlboMP hosted 🇬🇧Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy and Defence Secretary @JohnHealey_MP, with 🇦🇺 DPM @RichardMarlesMP and Foreign Minister @SenatorWong. In beautiful Sydney for UK-Australia AUKMIN discussions. 🇬🇧🤝🇦🇺

Australia and the UK share history, we share values and we share interests. Today @RichardMarlesMP and I welcomed @DavidLammy and @JohnHealey_MP to Sydney for this year’s AUKMIN. We are working even more closely together to help shape the world for the better.

Sharing a joke, sharing ideas, sharing responsibilities, sharing opportunities. 🇬🇧and 🇦🇺 sharing our future.

New day, new commitment. Today. Office with a view. Nice.

If pictures could talk. A superb week with RSIS, where had a chance to catch up with legend ⁦@supbrow⁩ and the great team at the IFC Singapore and do what I love most. Engaging with those who want to learn. Those who are tasked to keep us safe. And learning a lot.

In light of recently leaked changes to DoD practices in engagement with think tanks and research fora, I’d like to confirm that I remain available as conference speaker and happy to step up to the plate. Happy to do weddings, kids parties, and meaningful occasions too.

This is a strategic touchpoint! Her Majesty QE opened this naval facility in Oct 82 as a vital PB base - some 7 decades after the first Govt directed constabulary operation (The Special Cruise). Infrastructure is important - this picture = >1000words. @NSC_ANU #thedeakinroom…

Stand by. Tomorrow. Yours truly. Joining the show…
