Today I announce the appointments of eight experienced career officials to lead Australia’s posts in Zagreb, Accra, Makassar, Kuwait City, Mexico City, Nauru and Bangkok and to lead Australian representation to Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).
I am pleased to confirm the following appointments:
Australia’s diplomatic network enables us to promote our interests in peace, security, trade, investment and other areas of cooperation.
Australia takes the world as it is and seeks to shape it for the better – these diplomatic appointments will deepen Australia’s connections abroad and increase our ability to influence where it matters.
I thank the outgoing Ambassadors, High Commissioners and Consul-General for their important contributions to Australian diplomacy.
