countries for the entire pacific region, and i would argue for the world, we also recently marked the 20th anniversary of $911.00. the only time the collective defense article, the treaty, was formerly invoked. that meant a great deal to us. we also remember how australia's parliament very swiftly past the motion offering support the united states after the 911 attacks. simply but we will always be deeply grateful for australia, solidarity for friendship. at one of the darkest moments in our history in afghanistan, australian and american troops serves side by side for 20 years. as part of the nato led multinational missions more than 40 australians lost their lives as part of those missions will never forget their courage. and their sacrifice and we'll continue to work together as we look to the future and afghan stand to insure the terrorist groups. never again use it as a base for external operations that could threaten australia, the united states or our allies. yesterday, present by the announced a historic new chapter in our security partnership with australia and the united kin

it is a step change for ralia and the eire indo pacific region.nuckling to make an immediate difference because it is going to take years to build these nuclear-powered submarines. they are not want to be nuclear armed, but will be able to carry very powerful missiles with a range of about 1000 miles. in the submarines can stay submerged, hidden very stealthily, for month on end. ultimately, it will alter the military balance in the south china sea and the asia-pacific region, which is upsetting china. but as you alluded to, china has been on a huge spending spree to build up its military. the size of its navy has tripled in the last 20 years. it is developiypersonic weapons which go up into the stratosphere and power down at mach eight, eight times the speed of sound. an if they get the guidance right, it can punch a hole in a warship and send it to the bottom of the ocean. so, the u.s. is now very concerned it has lost the military edge in the region. but together with australia and the u.k. and possibly others, they think they can possibly redr
