Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has raised the prospect of Canada joining Pillar II of the AUKUS pact—the wing of the high-level security agreement focused on sharing advanced military technologies such as quantum capabilities, hypersonic missiles, and artificial intelligence.
“I think that Australia always has a case for maximising our defence and security relationships in what is an uncertain world,” Albanese told reporters in Canada, where he is attending the G7 summit.
