World leaders from countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, India, France, Indonesia, and the European Union have extended their congratulations to Anthony Albanese on Labor’s win.
Although Donald Trump has not yet made a public comment, the United States expressed its congratulations via Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
“The United States looks forward to strengthening its relationship with Australia to advance our mutual interests and promote freedom and stability both in the Indo-Pacific and worldwide,” Rubio mentioned.

Former US President Joe Biden was quick to congratulate his “friend” Albanese, stating: “America and Australia share a vibrant alliance grounded in shared values, and I am confident that Anthony will continue to uphold them.”

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Australia and the UK were “as close as ever”.

Canada’s recently elected prime minister Mark Carney said Australia and Canada were close partners in “an increasingly divided world”.

“We have the opportunity to build on that relationship and our shared values to the benefit of both our nations, and I look forward to it.”

Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Albanese had a “confident electoral victory”.

“Ukraine deeply appreciates Australia’s steadfast support and principled position on ending Russia’s war and achieving a dignified, lasting peace. We anticipate enhancing our productive partnership to pursue peace, security, and freedom together.”

India’s Narendra Modi congratulated Albanese for Labor’s “emphatic mandate” which he said indicate the “enduring faith of the Australian people in your leadership”.
“I look forward to working together to further deepen the India-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and advance our shared vision for peace, stability and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific,” he posted on X.

French President Emmanuel Macron shared a picture with Albanese, expressing that France and Australia have “much to achieve” together in tackling global challenges.

European Union President Ursula von der Leyen congratulated Albanese, saying: “Europeans and Australians are not just friends – we’re mates,” she wrote on X.

“Let us seize this moment of stability to deepen our cooperation.”
