Australia’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Hon Julie Bishop visits Tonga ^Featured

This one-day visit will present an opportunity for Ministers Bishop and Fierravanti-Wells to announce Australia’s new funding package towards Tonga’s recovery priorities, including in the areas of education, community infrastructure, and to support livelihoods and food security.

The ministers will be making site visits to key stakeholders involved in recovery relief efforts, as well as meeting with Tonga’s Prime Minister, the Hon ‘Akilisi Pohiva, and his Cabinet, NGOs, and other donor partners in Tonga.
