Australian government marks 25th anniversary of 9/11 attacks

The prime minister, defence minister and foreign minister have released a statement remembering 25 years since the deadly 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Nearly 3,000 people, including 10 Australians, died when terrorists hijacked planes in the United States and crashed them into the World Trade Centre and Pentagon.

The statement says the government honours the memory of that day and reaffirms its stand against terrorism and violent extremism.

"We acknowledge the grief carried by their loved ones. We also honour the courage and selflessness shown in the face of unimaginable terror," the statement says.

"Today is also a moment to reflect on the resilience shown in the face of profound loss. Australia remembers those whose lives were taken, those who survived, those we've lost since, and all those who continue to carry the weight of that day."
