Always a pleasure to catch up with HE #Omar_Hilale , Moroccan Permanent Representative to the United Nations, at the Atlantic Dialogues #AD2025 in Rabat. He’s one of Morocco’s treasured sons and great statesmen.

Anyone else absolutely hate the new @duolingo energy feature? So much time wasted when energy suddenly runs out. Very difficult to plan or predict whether you can finish a session regardless of whether you make errors or not. So much frustration. Please bring back hearts! 💕

Sharing some good Aussie culture in Morocco: teaching the Minister of Higher Education, Scientific Research, and Innovation how to do a #timtamslam. It was a little warm, so the timmies were melting and the #Milo was cold, but he was a good sport and did great on his first go

Australia and the Netherlands have won our historic case against Russia for the downing of Flight MH17. We remain unwavering in our commitment to the pursuit of truth, justice and accountability for the victims and their loved ones.

A great pleasure visiting the @ICESCO_En HQ in Rabat and spending time talking with Dr Al Malik and the team - they do so much great work. I look forward to further interactions in the future and potentially looking for areas of cooperation. #ICESCO

[ICESCO @ICESCO_En]

Dr. @SalimAlmalik, Director-General of #ICESCO, received Mr. Damien Donavan @DonavanDamien, Ambassador of Australia to the Kingdom of Morocco, and together they explored prospects for cooperation between ICESCO and Australia in the fields of education, science, and culture.

In this video, Amb. Donavan commended ICESCO’s efforts to serve its Member States, expressing his keenness to implement a number of joint programs, particularly in the field of smart and sustainable agriculture. 🇦🇺

Looking forward to sharing a #democracysausage with Australians at the Residence tomorrow in Rabat Morocco while we gather together to celebrate democracy and monitor the election results. I wonder if we should add our location to the @DemSausage site in the future? 🤔

@AusHCPak Looking fabulous you too! 🤩

[Damien Donavan @DonavanDamien]

Great discussion with young Moroccan researchers at the Youth Policy Centre in Rabat and the fabulous Danish Ambassador, HE Berit Basse - critical time to be discussing the importance of #multilateralism. https://t.co/tznA109TLK

[Damien Donavan @DonavanDamien]

@AusHCPak Look at that form! 😉

The festival L’âme Des Cultures was a huge success last weekend in #essaouira. This town continues to provide an example of inter-faith collaboration and understanding. It was a privilege to experience the diverse spiritual, religious, and musical traditions and practices.

Andreas @RAKraemer @EcologicBerlin provided a clear explanation of political/$ solution for energy transition @ #AtlanticDialogues. To say renewables are more expensive than fossil fuels is disingenuous; rethinking subsidies could create fiscal space for renewable energy solution

[Damien Donavan @DonavanDamien]

Great first session of the #AtlanticDialogues for #AD2024 which set the scene for the next couple of days’ discussion. @NikGowing now stimulating debate and discomforting attendees to raise thorny issues. So many interesting points of view, smart and passionate people in the room

[Damien Donavan @DonavanDamien]

@AusHCPak @ACIARAustralia @ACIARAustralia do such great work in Pakistan! Looking forward to having them in Morocco soon, following the Australian Foreign Minister’s announcement in November of $76mn+ to invest agricultural research and capacity development in Africa. 🙌🏻 https://t.co/vTX6YrZk3u

What a beautiful place the @JardinMajorelle is, situated next to the fascinating Yves Saint Laurent Museum, @myslmarrakech, in Marrakech. Do yourself a favour and spend a day relaxing in the serenity of the gardens and then soak up some fashion history

What a great presentation from @jrockstrom - straight forward science that clearly articulates the problem and points to what is needed. If you didn’t believe it or understand it before, you should now - https://t.co/4yRFEmt2FC.

[Damien Donavan @DonavanDamien]

Great weekend in #Marrakech for opening of @Marrakech_Fest. Featured a constellation of stars including our Jacob Elordi & Justin Kurzel (whose film The Order opened). Had dinner with HRH Prince Rachid. OK, not exactly WITH, but we could see his table 😁.
