View answerTo date in 2023, in my capacity as Minister for Defence, I have not spoken with the United States Secretary of Defence, Lloyd Austin.
However, I look forward to engaging collectively and bilaterally with international colleagues as and when the opportunities present themselves. In that regard, I look forward to an opportunity to speak or meet with Secretary Austin.
