Australia to launch bid for UN Security Council seat

UN Security Council bid Anthony Albanese Penny Wong Australian diplomacy non-permanent seat

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is set to launch Australia’s bid for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for the 2029–30 term. The announcement is expected to coincide with his address to the UN General Assembly in September.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong stated that securing a seat would provide Australia with a stronger voice in global decisions during a period of increased international uncertainty. Wong emphasized Australia’s role as an active middle power contributing to international peace and security. This would mark Australia’s sixth term on the council, following previous stints in 1946–47, 1956–57, 1973–74, 1985–86, and 2013–14.
