The Inauguration Of Us President Joe Biden
Labor congratulates United States President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on their inauguration.
The swearing-in of the Biden administration represents a triumph of hope over fear, and common purpose over division.
America’s greatest power has always been the example it sets to the world. When we look to the United States today, we see a woman of colour elected to high office, a Cabinet that reflects modern America and hope for progress on issues of central importance to Australia.
The Biden administration presents an opportunity to expand cooperation within the Australia-US alliance, to tackle the great challenges in our region and around the world.
We welcome Joe Biden’s commitment to working with allies, reinvesting in US global leadership, including on climate change – and Australia must be a strong partner in this.
Australia needs to lead by example to work with the US to secure the region we want – one that is stable, prosperous and respects sovereignty.
