Indo-Pacific Region: Defence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he will make an assessment of the potential merits of including an Indo-Pacific defence strategy in his planned Strategic Review.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The threats we face are growing and diversifying: war in Europe, conflict in the Middle East, and global threats increasing. The review will consider the threats Britain faces and the capabilities needed to meet them. As part of this, the SDR will identify ways to nurture the UK's defence ties to the Indo Pacific region including the delivery of the AUKUS partnership with the US and Australia.
