PM Takaichi: βI met with Prime Minister Albanese of Australia and exchanged views on regional affairs as well as cooperation with allies and like-minded countries. Looking ahead to the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Basic Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation between Japan and Australia, or the NARA Treaty, we agreed to strengthen cooperation across a wide range of areas, including security, the economy, and people-to-people exchanges in order to elevate our Special Strategic Partnership to new heights.β
