Annotation: This study examines the multifaceted foreign policy landscape inherited by the Anthony Albanese government following the tenure of Scott Morrison in Australia, especially strategic shifts and continuities in the Asia-Pacific, assessing the legacy and changes under the new administration. Key areas of focus include the evolution of Sino-Australian relations, which are pivotal amidst growing regional tensions. The analysis also explores the recalibration of defence policies, particularly in the context of AUKUS and its implications for regional security. Further, this paper investigates the dynamics of relations between Australia and the United States, as well as the nuanced engagements with the Pacific Island Countries (PICs). The review provides an understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by the Albanese government in the international arena.
