Remarks by Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen Ahead of
Bilateral Meeting with Treasurer Jim Chalmers of Australia in
San Francisco, California
November 12, 2023

As Prepared for Delivery
Treasurer Chalmers, thank you for joining us here in San Francisco for the APEC Finance
Ministerial and APEC Economic Leadersʼ Week.
We continue to strengthen bilateral relations between our nations. This meeting follows a
very successful State Visit by Prime Minister Albanese last month in which he and President
Biden helped inaugurate a new era of U.S-Australia strategic cooperation.
As the President said during Prime Minister Albanese's visit last month, the alliance between
Australia and the United States has never been more important than it is today. And the U.S.
has never been more committed than we are today.
I am especially excited to meet during APEC Economic Leadersʼ Week as Australia is a strong
partner of the United States in this important forum. I would like to thank you for your
collaboration on our policy priorities this year, particularly on sustainable finance and modern
supply side economics.
I am happy to continue our discussion today to promote close cooperation on our shared
economic objectives.
Thank you.
