Australia's foreign minister has urged the United Kingdom to confront its colonial past in the Indo-Pacific as Britain pushes ahead with a tilt towards the region.
In a speech to King's College in London, Penny Wong highlighted the deep links between the two countries, saying many Australians continued to also think of themselves as British after federation more than a century ago.
"But as the nature of our nations, our regions and indeed our world has changed, so too has the character of our relationship," Senator Wong said.
