Australian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Jeremy Bruer has expressed his country’s support for the development of a strong, professional and sustainable media sector in Bangladesh.
Developing mass media's capability to counter misinformation and disinformation and improving investigative journalism standards are crucial to the maintenance of democracy, he said.
High Commissioner Jeremy Bruer met with ten Bangladeshi journalists who recently visited Australia under the Australian Professional Opportunity (APO) program.
The journalists shared their experiences of visiting Australia and exchanging perspectives with leading Australian journalists and experts.
Highlights of their trip included learning about indigenous Australian cultures, experiencing Australia’s multicultural society, and learning about Australia’s advanced capabilities in hydrogen and renewable energy.
