U.S. Consulate General Sydney

Our top security officials - including our Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen - traveled to Australia this week for the Five Countries Ministerial meetings.
Our history of cooperation, our shared values, and our enduring friendship provide solid foundations to face the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century together.
At the Five Country Ministerial, we work with Australian, New Zealand, British, and Canadian allies on issues including counter...ing the threat of terrorism, cyber security and resilience of critical infrastructure, migration and border management, and more.

Vale, John Sidney McCain III.
