The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Government of Australia signed a Strategic Partnership Framework for 2026–2030, renewing their long-standing collaboration and reaffirming a trusted partnership to address humanitarian challenges and strengthen migration governance across the Indo-Pacific and beyond.
“Australia has long been a trusted partner to IOM and to migrants and communities across the region,” said IOM Director General Amy Pope.
The agreement was acknowledged during a ceremony in Geneva, Switzerland, said a press note.
The renewed agreement reflects a shared recognition that well-managed migration can be a powerful driver of development, stability and human dignity. It also reflects Australia’s ongoing efforts to address the complex drivers of migration and displacement, both regionally and globally.
IOM expressed its appreciation to the Government of Australia for its continued partnership and leadership and is committed to working closely with Australia and other partners to translate the Framework into tangible outcomes that advance safe, orderly and regular migration and improve the lives of migrants and communities worldwide.
