New security partnership for Indo-Pacific:- AUKUS
AUKUS partnership:- US President Joe Biden has announced a new trilateral security alliance for the Indo-pacific. Australia, United Kingdom, and the United States formed a security partnership.
Highlights
-
AUKUS is a security group that will be focusing on the promotion of strategic interests in the Indo-Pacific.
-
Officials stated that the trilateral grouping is security-focused and complements arrangements like the Quad.
The features
-
This partnership consists of a trilateral 18-month effort to assist Australia in the acquisition of nuclear-powered submarines that are more capable and quieter than their conventional counterparts.
-
These submarines can be deployed longer and require less frequent surface visits.
-
These submarines are not armed with any nuclear weapons, but they can be powered by nuclear fuel.
-
AUKUS will also include a new architecture for meetings and engagements among three countries.
-
It involves cooperation with emerging technologies such as AI, quantum technology, and undersea capabilities.
This is why this partnership was created.
-
Like other countries in the region, Australia is feeling increasing pressure from assertive China. Australia sought to strengthen its relationships with India, the U.S.A, Japan, the U.K, and other plurilateral countries.
-
Although QUAD exists, the officials say that it is not a Chinese response.
-
This initiative was initiated by Australia to improve its maritime security in the Indo-Pacific.
Current Affairs in Short: 16 September 2021
Background
AUKUS partnership with Australia is rare, as the United States has only shared this technology on nuclear-powered submarines once to the UK before sharing it with Australia.
