Dear comrades,
The Communist Party USA sends warm fraternal greetings to the Communist Party of Australia on the occasion of its 15th National Congress. Recognizing our shared struggle for peace in this urgent moment of intensifying imperialist violence, we reaffirm our deepest solidarity with the CPA.
Bilateral arrangements between the governments of the United States and Australia are critical to the geopolitical foundation of American imperialism, now leveraged by the Trump administration against sovereign peoples everywhere. The formation of the AUKUS alliance marked a significant development in the advance of American imperialist ambitions, and in shifting the balance and organisation of forces within the American-led international alignment. Likewise, the struggle against ICE domestically is informed by previous bilateral immigration agreements of Australian and American governments, which have incubated tactics of political repression now deployed against broader sections of American society. We further note the rapid advances of far-right organisation in Australia, mirroring similar developments in the United States and around the world.
Amid such dire circumstances, the CPUSA congratulates the CPA on the successful conclusion of its 15th National Congress. We salute the Party for its continued growth and the deepening of its presence in struggles for peace, democracy and socialism, and we look forward to continued fraternal collaboration. Long live the Communist Party of Australia! Long live proletarian internationalism!
