CANBERRA 06 July 2022 – Philippine Ambassador to Australia Ma. Hellen De La Vega met Charles Darwin University Vice Chancellor and President Professor Scott Bowman at the Charles Darwin University (CDU) on 28 June 2022. He was accompanied by Vice President for Global and External Relations Jenny Roberts and CDU Global Director Joanne Crystal. 

Ambassador De La Vega pointed out that education cooperation is part of the Philippines - Australia Plan of Action and that education will jumpstart enhanced Philippine connectivity with the Northern Territory.
