Australia is looking to deepen ties across the Indo-pacific with Foreign Minister Marise Payne and the Minister of Defence Peter Dutton jetting off on a tour of the region for a series of 2+2 meetings with their counterparts from Indonesia, India, South Korea, and the United States.
In a joint press release on Sep. 8, Payne and Dutton said that the tour would enable Australia to reinforce our active engagement in the region and advance Australia’s contribution to peace and stability in the region.
