Tackling regional challenges together through cooperation.

High Commissioner Mudie was pleased to join DFAT Secretary Jan Adams to host the latest cohort of emerging leaders from across the Indo-Pacific under the International Institute for Strategic Studies Young Leaders’ Programme.

The 39 delegates engaged in discussions on the biggest challenges facing our region and the vitality of regional cooperation.

In our region, the area where the strategic environment is most complex is the maritime domain.

It was a pleasure to address the 23rd Shangri-La Dialogue and discuss this challenge and the ways we can work with our friends and partners to meet this moment.

Wishing peace, joy and unity to all of our mates in Singapore and Australia in celebrating Vesak Day.

May the lessons of sacrifice and devotion bring upon a renewal for our Muslim mates in faith, brightness and joy.
