I was pleased to welcome Bosnia and Herzegovina\u2019s Foreign Minister and Deputy Chairperson of the Council of Ministers Dr Bisera Turkovi\u0107 to Canberra today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia and Bosnia and Herzegovina\u2019s friendship is strengthened by our people-to-people ties and longstanding support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia recognised Bosnia and Herzegovina in May 1992, shortly after its independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We remain a strong supporter of Bosnia and Herzegovina\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia has worked beside Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan and in the Global Coalition against Daesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Bisera Turkovi\u0107 and I discussed Russia\u2019s unprovoked, illegal and immoral war on Ukraine, and Mr Putin\u2019s dangerous escalations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also renewed our commitment to greater cooperation between our countries and through the Bosnian diaspora community in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This includes our support for direct aid projects for local communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina that focus on supporting development in education, gender, disability, and human rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
