"We see you as a strategic partner," she said during talks on Sunday with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Rome, where world leaders gathered following Pope Leo's inaugural mass, according to a video she posted to social media.
"And we would very much like to broaden this strategic partnership."
