BREST, France: Australia and France are strengthening their defence cooperation and deepening their diplomatic ties, officials said on Thursday , as the two countries seek to heal wounds from a controversy over a secret submarine contract that infuriated France a year ago.

The two ministers said they were committed to projects that will strengthen their joint defence capabilities and protect their “shared interests in a prosperous, resilient and secure" Indo-Pacific region.
