Australian Minister for Small Business,\u00a0International Development and Multicultural Affairs Dr Anne Aly will arrive\u00a0in Bangladesh this week on an official visit aimed at deepening Australia's\u00a0engagement with the Indian Ocean region and strengthening ties with\u00a0Bangladesh and India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During her stay in Bangladesh, Dr Aly will launch the Australia-Bangladesh\u00a0Development Partnership Plan 2025-2030, reaffirming Canberra's long-standing\u00a0commitment to supporting Bangladesh's inclusive and democratic development,\u00a0said a press release issued by the Australian Embassy here today.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new partnership framework is expected to guide bilateral cooperation in\u00a0areas such as sustainable growth, human development, and climate resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Australia welcomes Bangladesh's transition to a democratic and inclusive\u00a0future, and is committed to supporting these efforts,\" the Australian\u00a0minister said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Aly will also visit Rohingya camps in Cox's Bazar, where Bangladesh\u00a0continues to shelter over 1.1 million displaced Rohingya people.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Describing the situation as the \"largest and most complex humanitarian crisis\u00a0in the region,\" she emphasized Australia's continued humanitarian support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia has committed an additional AUD 370 million (approximately USD 245\u00a0million) over the next three years in humanitarian assistance for Myanmar,\u00a0the Rohingya population in Bangladesh, and host communities, bringing its\u00a0total commitment since 2017 to over AUD 1.26 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The visit reflects the Albanese Government's commitment to working with\u00a0Indian Ocean partners to promote peace, stability, and prosperity in the\u00a0region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Aly's Dhaka visit underscores Australia's intent to further enhance its\u00a0development partnership, humanitarian cooperation, and people-to-people ties\u00a0with Bangladesh as the nation continues its progress toward sustainable and\u00a0inclusive growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
