I do place on record how much of the discussions—obviously we did hold a press conference afterwards to discuss some of the outcomes—focused on how we work together to ensure that our region remains peaceful, stable and prosperous and for the security of all nations, including our two nations as members of the alliance. We are modernising the alliance to ensure we are focused on the priorities of the region, and, of course, one of the highest priorities is climate change and clean energy. This, as stated now, is the third pillar of the alliance after the announcement between President Biden and Prime Minister Albanese, and we are working on implementing the Climate, Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Transformation Compact announced by the leaders, supporting the transition to clean energy in our two countries and in our region.
