声明  
我们作为澳大利亚、英国和美国的领导人，在经久不衰的理想和对基于规则的国际秩序之共同承诺的指引下，决心深化印太地区的外交、安全和防务合作，包括通过与合作伙伴一起努力，迎接二十一世纪的挑战。作为这项努力的一个组成部分，我们宣布，澳大利亚、英国和美国三国建立一个强化的三边安全伙伴关系，称之为“AUKUS”。 
通过AUKUS，我们的政府将在长期和持续发展的双边关系基础上，加强各方的能力，为我们的安全和国防利益提供支持。我们将促进更深层次的信息和技术共享，推动安全和国防相关科学、技术、产业基地以及供应链之间的深度融合。尤其重要的是，我们将大幅度地深化在一系列安全和防御能力方面的合作。 
针对我们作为海上民主国家的共同传统，作为AUKUS伙伴关系的第一个行动计划，我们对一个共同目标作出承诺，支持澳大利亚为澳大利亚皇家海军（Royal Australian Navy）采购核动力潜艇。今天，我们开始了一项为期一年半的三边努力，以寻求一种提供这种能力的最佳途径。我们将充分利用美国和英国的专业技术知识，在两国潜艇项目的基础上，尽早使澳大利亚的能力投入使用。 
澳大利亚核动力潜艇的开发将是三个国家的共同努力，重点是互操作性、通用性和互利性。澳大利亚致力于遵守在安全保障、透明度、核查和核算措施方面的最高标准，以确保核材料与核技术的不扩散、安全和保障。澳大利亚仍然致力于履行作为一个无核武器国家的所有义务，包括对国际原子能机构（International Atomic Energy Agency）的义务。我们三个国家坚定不移地致力于在全球防止核扩散方面保持带头作用。 
鉴于我们几十年以来所建立的深厚国防关系，今天我们还在AUKUS框架下开始进一步的三边合作，以增强我们的联合能力和互操作能力。这些最初的努力将集中在网络能力、人工智能、量子技术和其它的海底能力方面。 
我们今天发起的这项努力将有助于维护印太地区的和平与稳定。70多年以来，澳大利亚、英国和美国与其他重要盟友和伙伴一道，共同努力维护我们的共同价值观念，促进安全与繁荣。今天，随着AUKUS的成立，我们再次对这一愿景作出承诺。

Statement 
As leaders of Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, guided by our enduring ideals and shared commitment to the international rules-based order, we resolve to deepen diplomatic, security, and defense cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region, including by working with partners, to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. As part of this effort, we are announcing the creation of an enhanced trilateral security partnership called “AUKUS” — Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. 
Through AUKUS, our governments will strengthen the ability of each to support our security and defense interests, building on our longstanding and ongoing bilateral ties. We will promote deeper information and technology sharing. We will foster deeper integration of security and defense-related science, technology, industrial bases, and supply chains. And in particular, we will significantly deepen cooperation on a range of security and defense capabilities. 
As the first initiative under AUKUS, recognizing our common tradition as maritime democracies, we commit to a shared ambition to support Australia in acquiring nuclear-powered submarines for the Royal Australian Navy. Today, we embark on a trilateral effort of 18 months to seek an optimal pathway to deliver this capability. We will leverage expertise from the United States and the United Kingdom, building on the two countries’ submarine programs to bring an Australian capability into service at the earliest achievable date. 
The development of Australia’s nuclear-powered submarines would be a joint endeavor between the three nations, with a focus on interoperability, commonality, and mutual benefit. Australia is committed to adhering to the highest standards for safeguards, transparency, verification, and accountancy measures to ensure the non-proliferation, safety, and security of nuclear material and technology. Australia remains committed to fulfilling all of its obligations as a non-nuclear weapons state, including with the International Atomic Energy Agency. Our three nations are deeply committed to upholding our leadership on global non-proliferation. 
Recognizing our deep defense ties, built over decades, today we also embark on further trilateral collaboration under AUKUS to enhance our joint capabilities and interoperability. These initial efforts will focus on cyber capabilities, artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and additional undersea capabilities. 
The endeavor we launch today will help sustain peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. For more than 70 years, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, have worked together, along with other important allies and partners, to protect our shared values and promote security and prosperity. Today, with the formation of AUKUS, we recommit ourselves to this vision.
