Australia is counting on US assistance in missile production in the coming years, Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles said.

⠀

“We hope that within two years the production of missiles in Australia will be launched as part of (building) a collective industrial base of our two countries,” he said following the annual AUSMIN talks in Australia.

In addition, according to the minister, “a commitment has been made to strengthen the presence of American forces at our northern bases, to increase the number of maritime patrols and reconnaissance aircraft,” and “the number of visits by American nuclear submarines to our waters will also increase.”
