The United Kingdom and Australia have announced plans to formalize a historic 50-year treaty focused on the development, deployment, and cooperation surrounding nuclear-powered submarines.
The agreement aims to deepen strategic defense ties between the two nations amid growing security concerns in the Indo-Pacific region. It builds on the existing AUKUS partnership, further solidifying collaboration on advanced naval technology and joint operations.
Under the treaty, the UK will provide Australia with access to nuclear submarine technology, training, and support, enabling Australia to expand its undersea capabilities with cutting-edge vessels.
Officials from both governments hailed the treaty as a milestone for long-term defense cooperation and a commitment to maintaining stability and peace in the region.
The formal signing ceremony is scheduled for later this year, marking a significant step in allied maritime strategy and deterrence.
