In our third year in the region we hosted and contributed to a number of theme-focused events in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. We ran further political dialogue programmes which were aimed at intensifying the bilateral relationship between Germany, Australia and New Zealand in the filed of Energy Policy and Cyber Security as well as our well-established annual Australia-Europe Counter Terrorism Dialogue. Other highlights included the third iteration of the Konrad Adenauer Lecture. We also further expanded our foothold in the South Pacific, by continuing our cooperation with the UNDP Pacific Office on a programme to support the development of political parties in the region. Additionally, we intensified our support of public policy discussion in the South Pacific through the Pacific Update 2019.
