Enhanced Strategic Partnership between Australia and the Federal Republic of GermanyEnhanced Strategic Partnership Agreement • June 17th, 2021
Germany and Australia are strategic partners with joint global responsibility. Lifting our partnership to a new level comes at a time of increased strategic convergence and mutual solidarity and assistance. Our shared values, the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses to it, as well as the challenges to international rules, norms and institutions, underpin and inform the strategic dimension of our partnership. We share a deep commitment to universal human rights, a rules-based international order, free trade, resolute climate action, effective multilateralism, freedom of navigation and overflight, and open, inclusive and resilient societies. We will jointly promote a more peaceful, secure and safer world, democracy, the rule of law, global education and gender equality.
