The Washington Foreign Law Society and the U.S. Department of State’s Office of the Legal Adviser were pleased to honor Australia at this year’s annual reception at the State Department. The event was held in the stunning and historic diplomatic reception rooms at the U.S. Department of State. This year’s reception was an opportunity to meet the Ambassador of Australia to the United States, Kim Beazley, State Department Legal Adviser Harold Koh, and many others from the public and private sectors who share an interest in U.S.-Australian relations and Australia in general. Ambassador Beazley accepted the award and spoke eloquently about international law and U.S.-Australian relations. The Washington Foreign Law Society thanks all those who joined us in honoring Australia during this special evening with friends.
