Chapman met with senior civilian and military officials in Canberra, Australia for the U.S.-Australia Political-Military Talks. Building on the success of this year’s Australia-United States Ministerial Consultations (AUSMIN), the U.S.-Australia Political-Military Talks focused on a wide range of issues, including shared strategic challenges, security cooperation, peacekeeping, and maritime capacity building. The Bureau of Political-Military Affairs also led negotiations for the United States on the U.S.-Australia Force Posture Agreement, which was signed in August at AUSMIN and directly supports to the U.S. rebalance the Asia-Pacific.
