Australia has struck its largest defence export deal under a $2.5 billion agreement to provide Canada with world-leading radar technology, as US allies look to broaden their security relationships.
The landmark pact was signed in Canberra on Monday by Defence Minister Richard Marles and Canada's Secretary of State for Defence Procurement Stephen Fuhr.
"Today's agreement really is a historic moment for Australia's defence industry, but it is also a historic moment in the bilateral relationship between Australia and Canada," Mr Marles said.
