![]() RONALD W. REAGAN 40th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES Mr. Prime Minister, Nancy and I are overjoyed to be able to welcome you to Washington, and to the White House. The friendship shared by our two proud nations is as timeless, as it is crucial to the stability of Southeast Asia; and the Pacific. Australia has always been a staunch ally, and counterpart to United States. We share a similar culture; similar interests, and similar democratic values - which form the foundation of our alliance, one of the strongest in the world. While the Australian-America friendship will undoubtable enduring long after our time; I find it beneficial for us to work closely together, so to best represent and appreciate this alliance. That is why I feel it's only right for the Prime Minister, and his family, to join Nancy and I, as we close the first year of this presidency. Thank you for honoring us, and the historic bond between Washington and Canberra, with your presence, Mr. Keating. |

![]() The Honorable Paul Keating Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Australia Mr President, My wife Annita and I are more than glad to be with yourself and the First Lady on this occasion. In the first year of the Reagan Administration, great change was brought to the American people and great change to the American economy, your vision is one that reinvigorate's the American morale. The security of the Pacific is one of upmost concern to the Australia Government and the foreign policy of my Administration will reflect that, I would like to see a more co-operative Asia in respect to cultural ties and trade but at the same time see a stable region. After I depart from Washington D.C I will be attending a state visit to China to discuss the Pacific and Trade. |

40th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES Well, you have my best wishes for a successful meeting, Mr. Prime Minister. Cooperation in the Pacific, and fair trade in East Asia are goals which we share - and Australia, indeed, plays a crucial role in this matter. I trust that if China and Australia can find fair compromise, then it is incumbent on West Europe and the United States to work towards the same. |

40th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I think such a forum would be good for regional discussion and cooperation. The United States would be honored to host in Hawaii, however as Australia is the foremost regional power - economically and otherwise; I feel that your government should chair such a forum, and the US would certainly be represented and participate. |

The Honorable Paul Keating Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Australia Mr President, How very kind of you on suggesting Hawaii however the Australian Government are suggesting the Australian territory of Norfolk Island to host the first summit and we would love for the United States to be represented. We will be discussing the forum with many other countries in the ASIA-Pacific region and will attain their views on the proposal. Mr President, The Australian Government is concerned of the recent conflict in the Middle East, the instability of the Middle East can prove dangerous to both the United States and Australia. The Australian Government is supportive of the force for the Sinai however we believe the use of chemical and biological warfare must be addressed. |

40th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (1) I'm glad to hear that a location in Australian territory has already been selected; rest assured, Prime Minister, the United States will be represented in Norfolk when the time comes. And (2) as for the conflict in the Persian Gulf; Prime Minister, my administration shares your discontent with the current situation. As you know, we were pushing a Security Council resolution very strongly that would've gone a long way toward preventing much of the senseless bloodshed we've now seen; however while waiting for a vote, we were preempted by regional hotheads on both sides, who seem more interested in settling historic scores then preserving the peace. It's a tragic state - made worse by the use of WMDs. Now, I'm not ready to put our boys in the middle of a blood feud between Baghdad and Tehran - but things can not stand as they are, as I'm sure you'd agree. Here's where I stand at this time: our first objective is to maintain open navigation of the Gulf, because the traffic that goes through that waterway affects Americans, Australians, and everyone else. Next, the humanitarian crisis. Next, resolution of the conflict; and reestablishment of national boundaries. Frankly, everything else has to be taken care of after those issues are addressed. What's your government's view? |

The Honorable Paul Keating Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Australia Mr President, Australia is in agreement with the direction the United States are taking and Australia will be taking a similar approach however we believe under a UNSC resolution, UN WMD Inspectors need to be sent to Iraq for inspection. The use of WMD proves deadly to both the military and citizens of both Iraq and Iran and the World, we however wish to reassert that Australia does not support Iraq or Iran in the matter as we wish to main neutral. The Deputy Prime Minister is on a visit to Egypt and has been discussing the matter with the Egyptian Vice President and we believe with Egypt being a regional power in the middle east and a strong voice can act as a mediator for Iran-Iraq relations.
