Yesterday, the Prime Minister announced a new security partnership with the US and Australia, making the world safer and generating jobs across every part of the United Kingdom.
Commenting, Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies MS said:
“This new defence partnership between the UK, US, and Australia is a great step forward in our Global Britain ambitions and will further help pool security resources with our allies.
“This new relationship will strengthen our security collaboration, foster deeper integration on defence science and technology, and see Australia draw on British and US expertise to help them acquire a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines.
“We are united by our shared interests and values as leading democracies and strong believers in freedom. This will be all the more important in countering new and emerging threats, particularly China that has proven itself to be an aggressive, expansionist, and illegal actor.
“Beyond the security benefits, this move will create hundreds of skilled jobs across our country, demonstrating that the Conservative levelling up agenda is embedded in every part of the British Government.”
