Minister for Defence Industry Melissa Price has stressed the ongoing importance of defence industrial base cooperation between Australia and the United Kingdom during key talks with her UK counterpart.
Minister Price spoke with UK Minister for Defence Procurement Jeremy Quin MP last night and said the discussion reinforced the depth of the relationship between the two countries when it came to defence matters.
“Australia’s 2020 Defence Strategic Update and Force Structure Plan and the UK’s ongoing reviews of national defence policies highlight the importance of like-minded cooperation on shared defence industry challenges and opportunities,” Minister Price said.
