.Rep. Mark Green is a steadfast supporter of Australia and AUKUS, and what the partnership can deliver for the Indo-Pacific. We discussed homeland security-related issues and avenues for enhanced collaboration and cooperation between our two nations.

We talk a lot about the broad church of politics; good to see it brought to life at our Embassy in Washington last night. Honoured to host Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo , Kellyanne Conway & Scott Morrison for a discussion about the place of faith in public life.

It's been a genuine delight to work with Bede Corry during our shared time in Washington. Good times together with our signature Pacific Week and co-hosting the Women’s World Cup. Congrats on your return to NZ as Secretary of Foreign Affairs & Trade and New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade Chief Executive.

Such a pleasure to catch up with Brenda Croft - Gurindji/Mudburra/Malngin scholar & artist from the NT & this year’s Harvard University Gough Whitlam & Malcolm Fraser Chair of Australian Studies. We'll be opening Brenda’s exhibition in our Embassy gallery in July to celebrate NAIDOC Week.

I'm in awe of the breadth and depth of talent of the young Aussies studying Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University, across such diverse areas of study as foreign policy, health, economics, business & STEM. It will be exciting to see the impact these outstanding young folks make in their careers.

Regional stability is top of mind for the nations that make up the Indo-Pacific region and their partners. Took the opportunity whilst attending the Milken Global Conference on the East Coast to chat about this with CNA.

Another big day at the Milken Dialogue w/ Under Secretary for Public Affairs Elizabeth Allen, U.S. Ambassador Eric Garcetti, Stuart Holliday on the Future of Diplomacy & Statecraft, the power of sport & culture in shaping young minds, and how diplomacy can solve current & future challenges #MIGLOBAL

AI is a challenge & opportunity for all countries, including Australia. Great to discuss both at the Milken Global Conference w/ Anne Neuberger, White House Deputy NSA for Cyber & Emerging Tech, Milken Institute's Karen Kornbluh, Ambassador Dame Karen Pierce & Erik Schatzker.

Is industrial policy back? Good to take a deep dive on this question with Cecilia Malmström, Mari Elka Pangestu & Timothy Keeler on a TradeExperettes panel hosted by the Embassy Trade Team, looking at industrial initiatives around the world & the next evolution of global trade dynamics.

Our grateful nation thanks Mike Gallagher for his service to the 🇺🇸-🇦🇺 alliance. He has been a true blue champion as a Co-Chair of the Friends of Australia Caucus. Good on you, Mike. You have earned life-long mates from the land down under.

Brilliant to partner with CNN on the opening event for the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Congrats to all players, good sports every one of you. Such a great day, we may have to do it all again next year.

That’s game, set and match! Congratulations to the winners, NSC's Jim Miller & State Department's Nick Snyder, who overcame a fierce field to take home vintage Australiana trophies. A win for politicians everywhere. The Fourth Estate is invited back to seize the prize next year.

To kick off White House Correspondents' Dinner week in Washington DC, some of the country's finest members of the press and political classes joined me & CNN CNN for the #KangarooCup tennis tournament.
