"We had an excellent discussion, and President Elect Biden sort of comes in to the job no stranger to issues in Australia," Morrison said.

"Our alliance, our relationship, and his knowledge of things here in the Indo-Pacific region, and his commitment to the US’s presence here and our partnership here between Australia and the United States.

"Our alliance will celebrate its 70th anniversary next year, and so I was happy to invite him down under for that, and I know that New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has had similar conversations more recently when they spoke."
