The upcoming Sydney Nuclear Summit, hosted by the AUKUS Forum in collaboration with the Nuclear Taskforce, is poised to be a cornerstone event, offering a platform for in-depth discussions and collaborative efforts on pressing nuclear-related issues. The summit’s outcomes are anticipated to help shape future policies, foster international cooperation, and contribute to the sustainable and secure development of nuclear technology and the nuclear industry for Australia. In essence, the Sydney Nuclear Summit is not just an event; it's a beacon of progress, a testament to the power of collective action, and a stepping stone towards a more sustainable nuclear future for Australia.
Founder of the Sydney Nuclear Summit - Michael Sharpe discussing the growing nuclear industry.
In September 2021, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States announced AUKUS – a new security partnership that will promote a free and open Indo-Pacific that is secure and stable.
The first major initiative of AUKUS was our historic trilateral decision to support Australia acquiring conventionally-armed, nuclear-powered submarines (SSNs). Today, we announce our pathway to achieve this critical capability.
Together we will deliver SSN-AUKUS – a trilaterally-developed submarine based on the United Kingdom’s next-generation design that incorporates technology from all three nations, including cutting edge U.S. submarine technologies. Australia and the United Kingdom will operate SSN-AUKUS as their submarine of the future. Australia and the United Kingdom will begin work to build SSN-AUKUS in their domestic shipyards within this decade.
The AUKUS Forum Advisory Board Co-Chairs are former Labor Defence Minister, the Hon Joel Fitzgibbon & former Liberal Minister & United States Ambassador, the Hon Arthur Sinodinos AO.
“Our AUKUS partnership is not just about the US and UK sharing their most advanced submarine capability with Australia, it's also about drawing and building on the expertise within our three nations, so that we can achieve things greater than the sum of our parts.”
In the landscape of international relations, few initiatives have captured attention and generated discourse as swiftly as the AUKUS alliance. Comprising Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, the AUKUS partnership is a groundbreaking pact that transcends traditional collaborations. With its focus on security, defence, and innovation, the AUKUS alliance is reshaping global dynamics in the 21st century.
The AUKUS Alliance Unveiled
The AUKUS alliance, also referred to as the AUKUS partnership, emerged in September 2021 as a resolute response to evolving geopolitical challenges. It encompasses a comprehensive AUKUS pact, a strategic agreement that binds the three nations together in their pursuit of common objectives. This partnership is not merely a diplomatic formality; it's a testament to the commitment of these nations to work collectively for a more secure world.
AUKUS Security and Defence: Collaborative Strength
At the core of the AUKUS alliance lies its emphasis on security and defence. This collaboration underscores the significance of joint efforts in maintaining regional and global stability. The AUKUS collaboration, established through a comprehensive AUKUS agreement, embodies the principle that shared security concerns are best addressed through collaborative endeavors.
The AUKUS Forum is a collaborative member-led organisation of supporters across industry, academia, researchers, government and defence to stimulate the economy, while strengthening our collective commitment to national security.
