Australia – Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, is re-elected (5 May 2025)

France sends its warmest congratulations to Mr Anthony Albanese for his election victory and renewed term as Prime Minister of Australia.

France and Australia share a long-standing commitment to human rights and compliance with the rule of law, and to the fundamental values of our democracies. In the current context marked by the undermining of the international order, Australia can count on France to work in favour of peace, multilateralism and respect for international law. The renewed partnership between France and Australia, through the adoption of an ambitious roadmap, will bolster our bilateral relationship at the Indo-Pacific level.

France reiterates its will to continue the cooperation momentum between our two countries, as called for by President Macron, and this includes strategic challenges, the Pacific and the fight against climate change.
