 I'm proud to support the latest addition of the International Organization for Migration's flagship publication, the World Migration Report. The report has been produced every two years since the year 2000, providing detailed analysis of global migration data and trends. It provides important clarity on global migration issues during a challenging time in our collective histories. With 29% of Australia's national population being born overseas, Australia fully recognises the importance of global migration and the work of IOM. Australia is a proud contributor and member of our IOM. As a founding member state, Australia celebrates the 70th anniversary of IOM's creation and our ongoing engagement on migration management. We remain committed to being a strong and enduring partner well into the future. Australia has long supported the publication of the World Migration Report. This reflects our broad interest in incorporating regional migration perspectives into analysis of key migration issues and supporting informal and non-binding regional migration mechanisms, including consultative mechanisms like the Bali process and the intergovernal consultations. As the world continues to face the unprecedented global challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on migration and the international movement, comprehensive analysis and understanding of migration trends is now more important than ever. That is why the World Migration Report should not be allowed to sit on the metaphoric bookshelf rather it should be used to inform decision makers and policy debate, contribute to education, enlighten public discourse and debunk persistent myths around migration through verifiable data. I commend IOM for developing a technology interactive platform to view data in this report. I appreciate IOM's efforts to increase the availability of the report in more languages from just languages in 2005, that was one, to 10 languages in 2021. These initiatives will complement the work being done on world migration toolkits for teachers, fact-checkers, policy officials and the media and to broaden the potential audience of the World Migration Report. I thank IOM's global leadership for contributing to this report and reiterate Australia's support for OOM as a long-term valued partner as the leading agency with global expertise on migration. Thank you.
