Canberra, 29/7: Australia is set to manufacture missiles for US military forces under a joint plan between the close allies, the Sydney Morning Herald reported late on Friday.
Under the plan, set to be announced as part of the annual Australia-US Ministerial (AUSMIN) dialogue, Australia will develop a local missile manufacturing industry within two years, the report said.
Australia’s Defence Department did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment on the report.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin are in Queensland state for the AUSMIN talks with their Australian counterparts.
