Australia rejected the US request to send a ship to the Red Sea
Australia did not accept America's request to send a ship to the Red Sea as part of Washington's announced coalition aimed at countering the operations of the Yemeni army. |
According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, Australia rejected the US request to send a warship to join the “maritime operations” in the Red Sea, and the country’s defense minister Richard Marles said Australia’s strategic focus should remain on the Indo-Pacific region.
The United States this week announced the formation of an international coalition aimed at “protecting commercial vessels” transiting the Red Sea in the face of military operations. Yemen reported. Participating countries include the United States, England, France and Canada.
The Minister of Defense of Australia, who is also the Deputy Prime Minister of this country, told Sky News on Thursday that this country does not send ships or planes to the Middle East, but instead It will almost triple its force contribution to the US-led Navy. He added: Our strategic focus is our region.
