💨 Abstract

The leaders of New Zealand and Australia met to enhance military cooperation amid concerns over a recent Chinese naval exercise near their shores. New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese emphasized the need for greater interoperability between their forces, aiming to create a united ANZAC force. The Chinese exercise in the Tasman Sea raised alarm due to its rarity and the lack of notice, prompting complaints from Albanese to Chinese President Xi Jinping.
