Australian PM Albanese: AUKUS serves US interests

As the US rethinks its role in the AUKUS security pact, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he'll ask Donald Trump to stay committed to the framework. Albanese says it serves American interests. Albanese said AUKUS, which calls for Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States to expand their fleets of nuclear-powered submarines "is something that will make the Indo-Pacific area more secure. That is in the interests of the United States." Albanese will hold his first in-person meeting with the US president Tuesday on the sidelines of the Group of Seven summit in Canada. At a news conference Sunday, Albanese touted the benefits America reaps from the pact, pointing to submarines Canberra will buy from Washington and access to Australian shipyards that will extend US subs' reach. AUKUS was signed in 2021 by Australia, the UK and the US during the Biden administration. Under the pact, Australia will acquire nuclear-powered attack subs from America in the 2030s.

Cambodia turns to ICJ over border disputes with Thailand

Cambodia says it has sent a letter to the International Court of Justice to settle its long-running territorial disputes with Thailand. Last month, the two countries exchanged fire in a contested border area, leaving one Cambodian soldier dead. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said on social media Sunday that his country has chosen to solve the disputes through the ICJ mechanism. Thailand's foreign ministry said on Monday it is deeply disappointed with Phnom Penh's move and called for further bilateral negotiations. The two countries held talks over the weekend in Phnom Penh, but failed to reach an agreement to ease tensions. Concerns are mounting over their frayed relations. Thailand has restricted some border crossings and Cambodia has banned the screening and broadcasting of Thai films.
