- grow Australia’s relationships with international partners, particularly across the Indo-Pacific, and help solve shared global challenges, including through a foreign policy that elevates the rich heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
- advance Indigenous rights globally and contribute to the practical implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
