International Development and Co-operation Commissioner Neven Mimica (pictured), arrived in Australia on 6 March for a two-day visit. On this occasion, the Commissioner said: "The EU and Australia are working closely to meet shared global responsibilities. We must fight against poverty and team up to catalyse private sector engagement for development, build up climate resilience, sustainable energy and end violence against women and girls."

Commissioner Mimica held high-level bilateral meetings to explore closer cooperation between the European Union and Australia in the field of development in sectors such as private investment and infrastructure; climate resilience, sustainable energy and gender equality, notably the EU-UN Spotlight Initiative.

During his visit, the commissioner underlined the EU's commitment to supporting the Pacific countries' climate resilience and the economic opportunities initiatives such as ElectriFi can bring to all partners in the region. The visit is a follow-up to the EU-Australia Development Dialogue that took place in Brussels in early February 2019.
