Australia\u2019s prime minister<\/a> said Friday he remained committed to building a fleet of submarines powered by U.S. nuclear technology despite the French president describing the plan as a “confrontation with China.”<\/p>\n

The previous Australian government infuriated President Emmanuel Macron last year by canceling a contract for a French-built fleet of conventionally-powered submarines worth $66 billion and opting instead for nuclear-powered versions in a deal secretly brokered with the United States and Britain.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has stood by the so-called AUKUS agreement to embrace nuclear technology since he came to power at elections in May. Whether Australia opts for a version of the U.S. Virginia-class or British Astute-class submarine<\/a> will be announced in March.<\/p>\n

“We are proceeding with the AUKUS arrangements, there\u2019s nothing ambiguous about it,” Albanese told reporters at a Bangkok summit that Macron is also attending.<\/p>\n

Macron on Thursday criticized the AUKUS deal, telling reporters that France had offered Australia, which has no nuclear energy industry, diesel-electric subs that could be independently maintained.<\/p>\n

“It was not in a confrontation with China because these were not nuclear-powered submarines,” Macron said through an interpreter.<\/p>\n

But Albanese\u2019s predecessor Prime Minister Scott Morrison chose the “exact opposite: To enter into a confrontation by going nuclear,” Macron added.<\/p>\n

When the AUKUS deal was announced in September last year, China\u2019s foreign ministry condemned the export of U.S. nuclear technology<\/a> as “highly irresponsible.” Some of Australia\u2019s neighbors fear it could lead to an arms race in the region.<\/p>\n

Asked if Australia was creating a nuclear confrontation with China, Albanese replied: “President Macron is entitled to put forward his views, as he does in a very forthright way.”<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s entitled to make whatever comments he wants as the leader of France,” Albanese added.<\/p>\n

Albanese suggested there was no ill-feeling between the leaders, saying, “We had a very friendly exchange, as we always do” when they met Thursday night in Bangkok.<\/p>\n

Last year, Macron accused Morrison of lying to him over the deal and refused to take the Australian leader\u2019s phone calls for weeks after the contract for a dozen submarines was scrapped.<\/p>\n

Macron on Thursday said the prospect of France supplying Australia with submarines remained “on the table.”<\/p>\n

Albanese said Australia was continuing to discuss with France “how we can cooperate in defense.”<\/p>\n

With the first of eight nuclear submarines not due to be delivered until 2040, Australia could face a capability gap as its Collins-class conventional submarines approach the end of their lives.<\/p>\n

There has been speculation that France could provide Australia with a small interim fleet of diesel-electric subs.<\/p>\n

Albanese\u2019s newly elected government agreed in June to pay French shipbuilder Naval Group<\/a> a compensatory $584 million for breaking the submarine contract.<\/p>\n

Australian Defense Department officials said at the time the compensation was generous in the hope of cooling French anger while enhancing security links between the two South Pacific powers.<\/p>\n

Albanese said AUKUS was not brought up on Tuesday when he had his first bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
