We're a leader in shaping the future of cyberspace to ensure it remains a positive driver of economic growth and sustainable development. We're working with our Five Eyes partners as well as through the United Nations—through the ASEAN Regional Forum, for example—to help build stability in cyberspace. We promote the application of international law in cyberspace and reinforce norms of state behaviour that complement confidence-building measures. In both of my roles, as Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Women, we are focused on ensuring that women be involved in the cybersecurity conversation, including by supporting the attendance of a number of female diplomats from South Pacific and ASEAN countries at UN discussions on cyber in New York.
