  23. From ABC News Live:
    “Japan's PM to visit Australia next week

    By Stephen Dziedzic

    Anthony Albanese has confirmed that Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi will visit Australia next week.

    The visit — which has long been rumoured in both Canberra and Tokyo — will see both leaders mark 50 years since Australia and Japan signed the landmark basic treaty of friendship and cooperation.

    The two prime ministers will meet in Canberra on Monday.

    Albanese says the basic treaty "laid the foundation for a partnership based on trust, shared values and mutual respect" and that he looks forward to welcoming Sanae Takaichi to Australia.

    "Australia and Japan share strong strategic alignment. Our cooperation is essential to maintaining a peaceful, stable and prosperous region," he said

    "Our enduring trade and investment ties underpin our relationship, creating jobs, providing opportunity and delivering economic growth to both our nations."

    Given the #Mogami frigate deal, this is not unexpected and will probably mean more bilateral agreements are on the table, in particular #Defence and #Procurement.

    I wonder if PM #Takaichi will get to address Parliament.

  26. A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

    In the future world the misuse of power, as implied in the term “power politics,” must not be a controlling factor in international relations. That is the heart of the principles to which we have subscribed. We cannot deny that power is a factor in world politics any more than we can deny its existence as a factor in national politics. But in a democratic world, as in a democratic Nation, power must be linked with responsibility, and obliged to defend and justify itself within the framework of the general good.
