Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has spoken to President-elect Joe Biden and congratulated him on his election, Morrison said in a tweet.
“There are no greater friends and no greater allies than Australia and the US,” Morrison tweeted. “I look forward to strengthening even further our deep and enduring alliance, and to working with him closely as we face the world’s many challenges together.”
Morrison also said he looks forward to celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty (ANZUS) next year.
Morrison noted in a statement on Sunday that Biden “has been a great friend of Australia over many years.”
