US Ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy has chided a reporter as she arrives in Australia to take up her post.
Newly appointed US envoy to Australia Caroline Kennedy says America has a lot of work to do in the Pacific amid the challenges posed by China to the existing order.
Ms Kennedy told media there was a “big agenda” in US-Australian relations through the work countries did bilaterally, regionally and globally, citing the“I think the US-Australia partnership is really my focus and the work that we do together in the region, security, economic engagement, climate change, health, security, all those things,” she said.“China certainly has a big presence here in the region, but I think our partnership does as well.
Ms Kennedy was nominated to be ambassador in December, confirmed by the Senate in May and sworn in in June. The embassy’s deputy head of mission, career diplomat Mike Goldman, has been serving as acting ambassador in the interim. “The sense of excitement about all the possibilities for bilateral co-operation is really powerful,” she said.
