First Nations International Engagement is essential in building not only the economic, political and social standing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples but it is also fundamental in ensuring that the identity, message, needs, wants, hopes and aspirations of our people are placed at the forefront at home and abroad. As the oldest diplomats in the world ensuring we take up the mantle of bringing our world together at a time of so much division is crucial in not only our own story but that of the wider world also.
