Australia and the UK have agreed to deepen their co-operation in the fight against climate change as the nations' leaders met for the first time since Keir Starmer won a landslide British election in July.
Mr Starmer and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese discussed defence, climate investment and trade links on the sidelines of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa on Friday.
The pair agreed to negotiate a new climate and energy partnership, which will focus on developing and speeding up the rollout of renewable energy technologies, such as green hydrogen and offshore wind power.
