The AALD brings together US and Australian leaders committed to strengthening the ties between our two countries.
This week, its annual Forum brought delegates to Washington to meet leaders from government, business and defence.
It was a pleasure to welcome them to the Residence and meet so many impressive young leaders.
Great to accompany Speaker Milton Dick, Senators and Members from across Australia for a set of productive meetings on Capitol Hill.
Constructive conversations that have reaffirmed the depth of our partnership and shared strategic priorities.
Last night we reflected on what the United States has meant to the world, and to Australia.
Great to join members of Congress, the Administration and the US-Australian business community at the Embassy in Washington DC to reflect on 250 years of political, economic, and cultural intersections between the US and Australia.
It was an honor to welcome Australian Speaker of the House Milton Dick, Members of the Australian Parliament, and Australian Ambassador to the U.S. Greg Moriarty to my office today along with seven of the Speaker’s colleagues. Our longstanding alliance is stronger than ever as we work to advance AUKUS Pillar I and strengthen our submarine workforce in both nations.
The Australian Federal Police work alongside America to keep Australians safe.
Good to meet with AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett in Washington DC to discuss the close cooperation between our law enforcement agencies.
Proud to host my friend and our great partner Australian Federal Police Commissioner Krissy Barrett at @FBI HQ - great meeting on our partnership and continued joint work together on counternarcotics, transnational crime, and counterterrorism - including the chance to sign a Memorandum of Understanding between our two services on those important issues.
From our very own Embassy to iconic bridges to some of Australia's most historic landmarks, it was amazing to see red, white, and blue across the country to celebrate 250 years of U.S. Independence.
A massive thank you to our Aussie partners and friends for helping us mark the occasion!

Congratulations to the American people celebrating their 250th Independence Day.
For more than a century, Australia and the United States have stood together as close allies and partners, working to support security and prosperity.
As the United States marks this historic milestone, our friendship is stronger than ever.
Australia is delivering the capability the US needs.
From robotics to advanced manufacturing to intelligence, Australian companies are solving tomorrow’s defence challenges.
Great to bring together industry leaders at the Embassy to discuss the US-Australia defence industrial partnership.
Great meeting today with Australian Ambassador Greg Moriarty @AusAmbUSA. The U.S.-Australia alliance is strong as ever. We’re aligned on East Asian security interests, AUKUS, and modernizing our defense industrial base. 🇺🇸🇦🇺
Australia and the United States continue to build on one of the world’s closest partnerships.
Pleased to meet with Senate Co-Chairs of the Friends of Australia Caucus Dick Durbin and Dan Sullivan to discuss our continued collaboration across investment, security and innovation.
The Friends of Australia Caucus continues to deliver.
Great to meet with House Co-Chairs Michael McCaul and Joe Courtney to discuss the future of our strong bipartisan relationship on Capitol Hill.
Great to see @AusAmbUSA Greg Moriarty yesterday. The U.S.-Australia relationship is iron-clad and I'm glad to have such an experienced partner in advancing our countries' shared security and economic interests in Washington.
Not the result we wanted but the Socceroos fought hard and all Australians are proud. In the stands, the US and Australia remain the firmest of friends.
75 years of the U.S.-Australia alliance and still breaking new ground. The Sports, Tech, & Innovation Dialogue in Seattle connected American and Australian leaders to advance cooperation in technology, business, and sport. -MGD
