Australia will increase its missile defence capability after China’s test of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in the South Pacific raised “significant concerns” and as the Asia Pacific region enters a “missile age”.
Australia plans to increase its missile defence and long-range strike capability, and will cooperate with security partners the United States, Japan and South Korea on issues of regional stability, Australian Minister for Defence Industry Pat Conroy said in a speech on Wednesday.
