Australia is set to manufacture missiles for US military forces under a joint plan between the close allies, the Sydney Morning Herald reported late.
Under the plan, set to be announced as part of the annual Australia-US Ministerial dialogue, Australia will develop a local missile manufacturing industry within two years, the report said.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin are in Queensland state for the AUSMIN talks with their Australian counterparts. It is the first time Australia has hosted the high-level meeting since 2019 due to the COVID-19 disruption. The talks were overshadowed after an Australian Defense Force helicopter participating in Talisman Sabre crashed into the ocean off the coast of Queensland late on Friday, with at least four people onboard feared dead.
