(LEX 11451) [SEC=OFFICIAL]

 

CAUTION: This email originated from outside the organisation. Do not click
links or open attachments unless you recognise the sender.

 

Dear FOI FOI,

 

Thank you for your advice.

 

I am happy to confine my present request to these MOUs between Australia
and the Philippines:

 

- MOU on Enhanced Maritime Cooperation to strengthen existing civil and
defence maritime commitments (2024)

 

- MOU on Cyber and critical technology to harden our resilience against
cyber attacks and encourage cooperation on the digital economy (2024)

 

Regarding non-English language materials- the request is essentially
concerned with the language texts in which the MOUs were concluded (which
I assume should be in the same file or may otherwise be similarly located
as with the English texts, as in the case of various intergovernmental
treaties and agreements concluded by Australia with other States and
international organisations).

 

On the above 2 MOUs, if they were ONLY concluded in one language text only
(presumably English), I would be most grateful for a copy of these MOUs in
that language text.

 

Thank you

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Tyler
