As per information, Albanese, Biden and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will meet in San Diego Monday to unveil details of the pact. The new partnership, known by the acronym AUKUS, will allow the three countries to share information and expertise more easily in key technological areas such artificial intelligence, cybertechnology, quantum technologies, underwater systems and long-range strike capabilities. The agreement also includes the building of a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines for Australia.
China has denounced the agreement, saying it would seriously undermine “regional peace and stability.” The agreement also angered France, which had a deal to sell Australia a dozen diesel-electric powered submarines for up to $66 billion..
