This study is important because it examines how AUKUS affects the goals and implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which in turn affects regional stability, international trade, and the overall balance of power. In a broader sense, AUKUS is often seen as a reaction to China's growing influence and military might in the region. It aims to protect vital sea passages and increase Western presence. With the increasing importance of AUKUS, the dynamics of regional and global power structures are being reevaluated, which calls for a thorough examination of its strategic implications. This is especially important in light of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which is a crucial component of the Chinese 'Grand Strategy.' This study's primary importance stems from its investigation of the complex interactions among AUKUS and BRI. It looks at how AUKUS, a new security alliance with broad ramifications, affects the goals and way that BRI is carried out. The study utilizes a methodology that aims to thoroughly examine the intricate interactions that exist between China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the Australia-UK-US (AUKUS) alliance in the larger context of changing international relations, with a focus on the Indo-Pacific area.Indepth interviews , surveys alongwith relevant books on the said topic was consulted to make this study as an authentic source of data. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this study incorporates elements from economics, geopolitics, international relations theory, and case studies. The report identifies the alliance's important role in tackling issues related to international security, such as counterterrorism programs and peacekeeping missions. Collaborative endeavors in intelligence sharing, armed forces synchronization, and technology transfer reinforced the Western world's security framework, highlighting a dedication to maintaining democratic values and guaranteeing global stability.
