Summary

In the 35 years since the Second World War successive Australian governments have all participated actively, though with varying degrees of enthusiasm, in the multilateral diplomacy of the United Nations, its ’Specialised Agencies’ and regional and other commissions, and the Commonwealth of Nations. Their policies in this environment have extended the scope of Australian relations through fully international cooperation while at the same time reflecting the imperatives of bilateral and regional relations.
