To the Australians watching on in Paris on Thursday night, there were wry smiles all around as Anthony Albanese addressed the council of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
At the end of Albanese’s speech, his once former foes on each side applauded with the rest of the room, while an ironic cheer sounded in the adjacent room where the Australian press was watching on TV screens. Albanese rattled off his policy promises to back his commitment to reduce emissions by 43 per cent over 2005 levels by 2030, and achieve net zero by 2050. This included, without giving credit, listing the forthcoming Sydney Energy Forum, an initiative by the Morrison government that will bring together public and private sector clean energy experts from across the Indo-Pacific region.
After meetings in Madrid with European leaders as well as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, plus his mission to the Elysee Palace to square the ledger with France’s Emmanuel Macron over the submarines, Albanese has declared the FTA negotiation process to be back on track.Talks would recommence no later than October with progress expected by the end of the first quarter of 2023.
At the end of its two-day summit, the security alliance formed in 1949 expanded its membership to 32 with the admission of the hitherto neutral Sweden and Finland who were seeking protection from Vladimir Putin.NATO’s previous doctrine, known as a Strategic Concept, was written in 2010. It listed Russia as a “strategic partner” and made no mention at all of China.
“The People’s Republic of China employs a broad range of political, economic and military tools to increase its global footprint and project power, while remaining opaque about its strategy, intentions and military build-up,” its new Strategic Concept says.“The PRC’s malicious hybrid and cyber operations and its confrontational rhetoric and disinformation target Allies and harm Alliance security.
