European Union President Ursula von der Leyen sent Mr Albanese good wishes.

“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.”

Europe and Australia are seeking closer ties following US President Donald Trump’s decision to shift away from free trade and level tariffs on traditional allies.

Former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said he was glad his friend retained the top job.

“After Canada and Australia, Trump’s embrace is confirmed as the kiss of death,” he said on X.

“And it only takes a hundred days to overturn the polls. The more (Italian PM Giorgia) Meloni is with Trump, the more the (far right) are at risk in Italy too.”

Mr Albanese also received greetings from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

“The United States looks forward to deepening its relationship with Australia to advance our common interests and promote freedom and stability in the Indo-Pacific and globally,” Mr Rubio said.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer also weighed in on the election victory.

“The *** and Australia are as close as ever,” he said on X.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Mr Albanese’s “resounding victory”.

“This emphatic mandate indicates the enduring faith of the *********** people in your leadership,” he said.

He looked forward to working together to further deepen the India-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

French President Emmanuel Macron posted a picture of the pair on social media, in his congratulatory message to Mr Albanese.

“In the face of global challenges, Australia and France have so much to achieve together — especially in the Indo-Pacific,” Mr Macron said.

“Let us continue to write, with ambition and friendship, the new chapter of our partnership.”
