Climate, clean energy and global security will be on the agenda when Anthony Albanese meets with Joe Biden next week.
The official visit to Washington DC will be the ninth time the prime minister has met with the US president since Labor's election win in 2022.
Mr Albanese told parliament on Thursday the alliance with the United States was the central pillar of Australia's foreign policy.
"Our nations are united by our common values, our deep history and our shared vision," he said.
"But this visit, of course will be focused on building an alliance for the future."
The Australian diplomatic delegation will be keen to get some insight into progress on the US Congress easing the rules on defence technology sharing with Britain and Australia.
The future of the multi-billion-dollar nuclear-powered submarines program hinges on Congressional approval.
Mr Albanese said climate action and clean energy would be a key point of discussion, following the May announcement of a critical minerals compact.
"We're also working to promote Australian business industry and innovation, and a range of Australian business people will also travel for the official state dinner and for meetings," he said.
Mr Albanese will also meet with Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin, and attend the opening of Australia's new embassy.
