If you want a clear indication of how strongly focused 🇦🇺 is on Southeast Asia and why, today’s speech by Foreign Minister Wong in KL is a great place to start. foreignminister.gov.au/minister/penny…

Southeast Asia and 🇦🇺 are stronger from what we do together. Penny Wong, 🇦🇺’s Minister for Foreign Affairs reaffirmed 🇦🇺’s commitment to the region during her keynote address at the ISIS Malaysia Forum last week. See the full speech here: shorturl.at/25FvN #ASEAN

As the driest inhabited continent on 🌏, 🇦🇺 has the expertise to improve sustainable💧use and management. Through the Australian Water Partnership, we are helping 🇰🇭 to enhance💧security and respond to challenges like climate change and a growing population.

Support for drafting legislation, combatting cyber crime and scams, law enforcement cooperation, and the importance of judicial independence and political freedoms. Issues I discussed with HE Koeut Rith, DPM and Minister of Justice this week.

Congratulations to 🇰🇭 on the inscription of the Cambodian Memorial Sites on the UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 World Heritage List. Australian Dr Helen Jarvis’s dedicated work helping 🇰🇭 to prepare the nomination dossier was vital. Great to see her, Hang Nisay and Sardar Umar Alam at today’s ceremony.

Loved meeting the energetic students from University of Sydney during their visit to 🇰🇭 for the INCiTE summer school program. For Australia to be more focused on Southeast Asia and better equipped to engage with it, we need to nurture the curiosity young Australians have in the region.

We've reviewed our advice for Cambodia and continue to advise exercise normal safety precautions overall. We now advise reconsider your need to travel to the border area of the north-western provinces of Preah Vihear and Oddar Meanchey due to armed conflict in the area. (1/2)

Australia is deeply concerned by escalating tensions across the Thai-Cambodian border, including reports of injuries and loss of life. We urge both sides to de-escalate and resolve border issues peacefully.

Due to ongoing armed conflict along the Thailand-Cambodia border, we now advise do not travel to areas within 50km of the Thailand-Cambodia border. Read and subscribe: Smartraveller.gov.au/Cambodia Derek Yip

As we count down to #ASEANDay58, it’s time for our annual video challenge tradition! We’re challenging 🇦🇺 Ambassadors and High Commissioners across #ASEAN to share how we’ve worked with ASEAN Member States over the past year. First up: Malaysia 🇲🇾 @aushcmalaysia 🎥👇

Joined DPM and FM, Prak Sokhonn, and the diplomatic corps in Oddar Meanchey today to look at the security and humanitarian situation. We continue to urge both sides to honour the ceasefire and work towards a lasting and peaceful resolution.

🇦🇺 welcomes the commitment made at the Extraordinary General Border Committee meeting in Kuala Lumpur on 7 August to fully and effectively implement the ceasefire agreement between 🇰🇭 and 🇹🇭, including the establishment of an ASEAN-led observer mechanism. foreignminister.gov.au/minister/penny…

The conflict has displaced large numbers of children. It’s important that life and learning can go on as normally as possible. This week, 🇦🇺 embassy staff and families, in 🤝 with World Vision Cambodia, donated 📚🧸🖍️🎨 to child friendly spaces in camps across 🇰🇭 to help ensure this.

As we mark the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, I want to share the story of Mourng Vet, an inspiring young Krong Indigenous Cambodian man I met in Ratanakiri. An aspiring documentary 🎥 maker, he talks about the importance of sharing his community’s voice.
