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! 🎉

Australia is seeking a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for 2029–30. 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.
