74 CHAPTER THREE: AUSTRALIA’S DEFENCE STRATEGY SECTION ONE STRATEGY Make effective military contributions to support the security of maritime South East Asia and support the governments of Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and of Pacific Island Countries to build and strengthen their security 3.20 The second Strategic Defence Objective is to work with the governments of South Pacific Island Countries to support stability in the South Pacific and to support the security of maritime South East Asia. 3.21 Australia will continue to seek to be the principal security partner for Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and Pacific Island Countries, by deepening our security partnerships, including through our Defence Cooperation Program. The most significant element of this program, the Pacific Maritime Security Program, will provide replacement patrol boats to 12 Pacific Island Countries from 2018. 3.22 The Government will work with Pacific Island Countries to strengthen their ability to manage internal, transnational and border security challenges, including natural resource protection, and to build their resilience to natural disasters. This includes working to limit the influence of any actor from outside the region with interests inimical to our own. 3.23 Protecting the lives of Australians abroad in our region is a priority for the Government. Defence must have the capability to conduct evacuation operations for Australians under threat in our immediate region and other areas as directed, whether in response to natural disasters or as a consequence of instability. 3.24 Defence must also be prepared to cooperate with Pacific Island Countries to conduct humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, security or stabilisation operations in our immediate region as it has done successfully in Solomon Islands and in Bougainville and in response to the devastation of Tropical Cyclone Pam in Vanuatu in
Strategic Defence Objectives 75 March 2015. The ADF’s enhanced maritime forces and amphibious capability set out in this White Paper means the ADF will have more capability and will be more responsive and flexible in providing assistance to our neighbours when requested. 3.25 Australia has a strong foundation of longstanding bilateral and multilateral partnerships with countries in South East Asia which have an interest in maritime security in the region. This includes Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. Defence will have enhanced capability to make meaningful contributions to operations addressing shared regional security challenges and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief efforts. Defence will help build the capacity of regional countries to respond effectively to security challenges through contributions to bilateral and multilateral activities such as exercises, training activities and the Defence Cooperation Program. SECTION ONE STRATEGY 3.26 The Government will help shape security in the South East Asia maritime environment through a strengthened commitment to a strong security architecture that supports transparency and cooperation. This architecture includes the East Asia Summit, the ADMM-Plus and the ASEAN Regional Forum. Australia’s Defence contributions to these forums will reflect the importance we place on the value of being active in regional institutions such as Australia’s participation in all six ADMM-Plus Experts’ Working Groups. Contribute military capabilities to coalition operations that support Australia’s interests in a rules-based global order 3.27 The third Strategic Defence Objective is to work closely with our ally the United States and other international partners to provide meaningful contributions to global responses to emergent threats to the rules-based global order that threaten Australia and its interests. 2016 DEFENCE WHITE PAPER
