'No Longer Fit for Purpose': PM Warns on Foreign Policy
He says Australia must help shape a more resilient order as wars, the pandemic and US-China rivalry expose the limits of old assumptions.
- On Wednesday night in New York, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told the Atlantic Council's Global Citizen Awards dinner that the post-1945 international order is "no longer fit for purpose" amid declining influence of traditional democratic institutions.
- Albanese argued that recent global upheavals, including war and the pandemic, exposed supply chain vulnerabilities, forcing governments to prioritize resilience alongside economic efficiency, echoing sentiments Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed nine months ago.
- Strategic competition between Washington and Beijing is the "most consequential factor" shaping the Indo-Pacific, Albanese said, rejecting the idea that the region should be viewed solely through the prism of the two superpowers.
- Efforts to build consensus among more than 20 nations on AI regulation appeared fruitless after President Donald Trump publicly rejected the push, though Albanese met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday to sign a bilateral security arrangement.
- Australia aims to deepen its alliance with the United States while engaging China "without allowing either relationship to define who we are," as the government strengthens regional partnerships with ASEAN and Pacific nations.
