Pledge: Barack Obama will announce plans tomorrow to increase the United States' military presence in Australia

Barack Obama will unveil plans to deepen America's military presence in the Asia-Pacific region during a trip to Australia, which begins tomorrow.

The President is visiting the country in a bid to boost ties with the U.S. ally and amid growing tensions over the South China sea.

The shipping lane is worth more than $5trillion in annual trade and the United States and has been previously been described as 'incredibly vital' to the region.

Fresh from hosting an Asia-Pacific trade summit in his native Hawaii, Obama is set to outline his vision for an expanded U.S. role in the region in an address to Australia's parliament in Canberra on Thursday.

During his speech he will discuss a range of U.S. strategic interests in Asia, including regional concerns about human and drug trafficking, piracy, violent extremism as well as the future of the Korean peninsula.

He will then travel to the city of Darwin where he will confirm plans for thousands of U.S. maritime forces to train and do joint exercises with the Australian military on the country's northern coast.

The agreement will not currently include any permanent U.S. base in the region.

However one official said it was a stepping stone to a more stable presence in Australia, which offers closer access to the South China Sea than America's bases in Japan and South Korea.

Forming friendships: Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said she wanted the United States and China to both be allies of her country

He added: 'Any rebalancing that can take place over time to permit the United States to more effectively be present in the region I think is a positive step.'

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, speaking today, added: 'I think it well and truly possible for us in this growing region of the world to have an ally in the United States and to have deep friendships in our region, including with China.'

China currently claims the whole of the disputed sea belongs to them, but Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei have also laid claim to parts of it.

Australia and the United States jointly operate an intelligence base at Pine Gap in the outback and routinely take part in military exercises.

But the Darwin deployment will be the largest in Australia since the Second World War when General Douglas MacArthur moved his war headquarters there.

Darwin is nicknamed the 'Pearl Harbour of Australia' after a World War Two Japanese raid dropped more bombs on the city than Japan dropped on Pearl Harbour.

அமெரிக்கா ஒரு நீண்ட தூர நோக்குடன் இந்த பசுபிக் பிராந்தியத்தில் தனது இராணுவ - பொருளாதார நலன்களை பாதுகாக்க இந்த நகர்வை செய்துள்ளதாக ஒபாமா கூறுகிறார்.

யாருடம் இருந்து பாதுகாக்க என்ற கேள்விக்கு பதில் யாவரும் அறிந்ததே.

அடுத்து, ஆசிய பிராந்தியம். இங்கு சீனாவின் வளர்ச்சியை இந்தியாவுடன் இணைந்து கட்டுப்படுத்துமா? இல்லை தனியாகவே செய்யுமா? இல்லை முழுக்க முழுக்க சீனாவுக்கு தரை வார்க்கப்படுமா?

சிறிலாங்காவை இலகுவில் எடை போட முடியாது இந்தியாவின் ராஜதந்திரத்தை விட இலங்கை சிறப்பானது இராணுவமும் பறவாயில்லை..

சிறிலாங்காவை இலகுவில் எடை போட முடியாது இந்தியாவின் ராஜதந்திரத்தை விட இலங்கை சிறப்பானது இராணுவமும் பறவாயில்லை..

இந்தியாவா இராஜ தந்திரமா?

எப்படி உலகிலேயே பிச்சை காரர் கூடிய நாடென்று பேர் எடுப்பது தான் இராஜ தந்திரமா?
