The aim of the article is to determine the meaning of the AUKUS pact. The long-term effect of the conclusion of the AUKUS, having its geopolitical dimension, will be a change in the balance of power on a global scale. In the Indo-Pacific, the main axis of the competition concerns two opposing international orders: Chinese-led and American-led. The main research problem is included in the question what is the function and importance of the AUKUS pact for maintaining the American-led order in the Indo-Pacific region? The hypothesis assumes that the AUKUS is to be of key importance in maintaining the American-led order in the region. In cooperation with allies, the US has a chance to maintain primacy in the region, due to the possibility of joint development of cutting-edge military technologies offered by AUKUS pact.
