In my capacity as chair, I welcomed APSN Members from the AsiaPacific region to the 16th Annual Meeting. This unique network is committed to working together to solve current and future nuclear safeguards & security challenges, & to providing peer to peer support to each other.

#ASNO is committed to regional cooperation in preventing the illegal transfer of chemicals. Last month @OPCW #ASNO & @AusBorderForce cohosted a regional training course in Brisbane welcoming 21 experts from 12 Pacific island countries to strengthen shared knowledge and expertise.

I would like to congratulate @AusAmbVIE on this appointment. Ambassador Biggs has contributed significantly to the non-proliferation regime across his career and is well placed to take on this leadership role.

Good exchange with 🇦🇺 @AusAmbVIE Ian Biggs and Australian delegation - including @ANSTO, @ARPANSANews, and #ASNO - at #IAEAGC. Australia’s support for our work, including nuclear safety and security in Ukraine and cancer care through #RaysOfHope in the Pacific, is deeply valued.

🇦🇺 is looking forward to a productive week at the @iaeaorg #GC69. A strong collaborator on nuclear science and technology, non-proliferation, nuclear safety and security, 🇦🇺 is represented by @DFAT @DG_ASNO @ANSTO @ARPANSANews

Today #ASNO celebrated #WearItPurpleDay to recognise the strength, visibility and resilience of #LGBTQIA+ youth 🌈 ASNO is proud to be an inclusive workplace of diverse individuals committed to #nonproliferation #BoldVoicesBrightFuture #WearItPurpleDay2025

This week I attended the #INMM 66th Annual Meeting. I spoke in two sessions where my colleagues and I discussed the intricacies of implementing domestic and international safeguards as the nuclear landscape changes, particularly in our region.

ASNO is honoured to support Australia’s commitment to a world free of nuclear weapons. We are passionate about our work that ensures Australia meets our non-proliferation and the comprehensive nuclear test-ban-treaty obligations.

#ASNO staff are joining the global community to reflect on the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki 80 years ago. Together we made #PeaceCranes with @NTI_WMD for #CranesForPeace. We work to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, to ensure they are never used again

#ASNO is committed to boosting Chemical Weapons Convention implementation in our region. Australia shared its #CWC implementation experiences at the @OPCW’s 23rdRegional Meeting of National Authorities of States Parties in Asia held in New Delhi from 1-3 July 2025.

Strengthening our partnership with Timor-Leste, I met with senior Government officials to advance our shared goal of #nonproliferation. We explored collaboration on the CTBT, CWC, NPT and more, reaffirming #ASNO’s dedication to strengthening regional security.

Australia’s commitment to nuclear #nonproliferation is more than policy — it’s practice. Recently marked the @IAEAorg SAGSI's 100th series meeting. ASNO has contributed to SAGSI for 46 of its 50 years, including 18 as Chair. 🔗Find out more: https://t.co/tQLd85SA0f

At #ASNO we are committed to fostering regional capacity and capability. We recently hosted the 2nd Masterclass on Advanced Safeguards with @IAEAorg bringing together participants from 8 Asia-Pacific nations to work on emerging safeguards challenges. 🔗 https://t.co/kQhDnXFqRZ

I thank @prabowo & @AlboMP for their recognition of the important work that we are collaborating with @bapetenRI on to support regional @iaeaorg safeguards implementation. We look forward to co-hosting our workshop on good practices with you next week. https://t.co/XAMbFlWIZH

Australia has important treaty obligations, which means #ASNO needs to track and report on nuclear materials and activities in Australia. Our nuclear permit system helps us do this. Email asno@dfat.gov.au. https://t.co/xu4SmGlNJ3
