The United States has extended its greetings to Australians on the occasion of Australia Day, celebrated on January 26. The message emphasizes the enduring alliance between the two countries, which has been in place for 75 years since the signing of the ANZUS Treaty.
According to the statement, defense, economic, and security cooperation between the United States and Australia has grown stronger over the past year. This collaboration is based on shared democratic values and a commitment to regional stability and prosperity.
The message also highlights ongoing work through initiatives such as AUKUS, which focuses on deterrence strategies, new technologies, and maintaining a rules-based order in the Indo-Pacific region. Australia’s efforts to build secure supply chains for critical minerals are noted as important to these joint objectives.
Trade and investment ties between the two nations have reached record levels, underlining their robust economic relationship.
Reflecting on last year's terrorist attack at Bondi Beach, the United States reaffirmed its support for victims’ families and Australia's Jewish community. The statement reiterated a commitment to fighting antisemitism.
"The United States looks forward to continuing our close partnership with Australia in the years ahead. I wish you a safe and happy Australia Day," read part of the official greeting.
