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.
As we work to shape a future for the better, our diplomatic corps are fundamental to strengthening relationships and building resilience in an ever less stable world.
I thank the outgoing Ambassadors, High Commissioners and Consul-General for their important contributions to Australian diplomacy.
