The Indo-Pacific region has become the epicentre of strategic competition and like-minded nations need to act more consistently and cohesively to protect their shared interests in the face of multiple challenges, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said today.

Without mentioning any country, the Australian prime minister also referred to the growing tensions over territorial claims and the unprecedented pace of military modernisation in the region.

Australian Prime Minister warns of tensions due to territorial claims in Indo-Pacific region.
India and Australia should stand together for democratic freedoms amid “a great polarisation” in the region between authoritarian countries and liberal democracies, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Thursday.
Addressing the annual Raisina Dialogue from Perth, organised virtually this year by the Observer Research Foundation and the Ministry of External Affairs, the Australian Prime Minister described the recently held first-ever Quad leaders’ summit, which he attended along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, U.S. President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, as a “historic” moment for “like-minded” countries in the region.
Scott Morrison has warned there would be at least 1,000 Covid-19 cases per week if international borders were opened - even if the most vulnerable people were vaccinated.
Australians have been locked in their own country in all but exceptional circumstances since its borders closed in March 2020.
Politicians have been skirting around the topic of when millions can go on overseas holidays again since the number of community transmitted cases teetered between low single digits and zero in January this year, with no clear goal in sight.
Doubling down on comments made by health minister Greg Hunt earlier in the week who said trips abroad could remain off limits even if everyone in the country got the jab, Scott Morrison said the nation would be inundated with infections.
