It is my great honour to represent Australia as the new Ambassador to Germany. I look forward to working with our 🇩🇪 partners on our shared priorities and interests. I am excited to get to know this beautiful country‘s culture and history – and, of course, share ours in return.
🇦🇺🤝🇩🇪
Australia and Germany are strengthening our partnership in response to a more uncertain world.
At the G20, @AussenMinDE and I discussed how we can work together to strengthen economic resilience and advance our shared interests.

Together with other Heads of Mission in Kyiv we take note with concern of the Russian MFA's threat against diplomats and foreign citizens in Ukraine.
Russia is bound by the Vienna Convention and international humanitarian law.
We stay in Kyiv.
On 3 October 1990, East and West Germany came together after decades of division. Today, we celebrate 36 years of German unity and reflect on the enduring values of democracy and freedom that bind us together.
Happy German Unity Day! 🎉

A seat on the UNSC will give Australia and our region more influence to shape the agenda and drive action that delivers for Australians and the world.
