Why in news
Australia said it had signed a deal to allow the exchange of nuclear secrets and material with the United States and Britain, as part of the tripartite 2021 AUKUS accord
AUKUS
It is a trilateral security partnership for the Indo-Pacific, between Australia, the UK and the US which was signed in 2021.
The major highlight of this arrangement is the sharing of US nuclear submarine technology to Australia.
It involves a new architecture of meetings and engagements between the three countries, as well as cooperation across emerging technologies (applied AI, quantum technologies and undersea capabilities)
