flag Australia and the EU are negotiating a defence pact to counter threats from Russia and China, enabling access to a €150 billion fund and boosting security cooperation.

flag Australia and the European Union are advancing talks on a security and defence partnership to counter shared threats like cyberattacks, hybrid warfare, and drone activity, driven by concerns over Russia and China. flag Initiated by EU President Ursula von der Leyen and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at the G7 summit, the non-binding agreement would enable Australia to access the EU’s €150 billion SAFE defence fund, boost defence industry collaboration, and enhance cooperation on cybersecurity, maritime security, and peacekeeping. flag The partnership, separate from trade talks, aligns with similar pacts the EU has with Japan, South Korea, the UK, and Canada, reflecting a broader strategy to strengthen global defence ties among democratic nations amid rising strategic tensions.
