On Sunday, September 21, 2025, an Australian delegation headed by Australian Senator David Shobridge visited the headquarters of the Department of Foreign Relations, in the city of Qamishlo in Rojava (northeastern Syria), as part of a field tour to learn about the political, social and humanitarian reality in the region.
The Department of Foreign Relations of the Autonomous Administration said in a statement, “They were received by the joint head of the Department of Foreign Relations, Fanar Al-Kait, and the two vice-presidents, Rubel Baho and Golestan Ali.”
The meeting, according to the statement, “touched on the overall situation in Syria, especially in the regions of northern and eastern Syria, in addition to the experience of the Democratic Autonomous Administration as a model to be followed, and the leading role played by women within the institutions of the administration, both civil and military.”
The two sides also stressed “the importance of a comprehensive political solution as the only way to end the Syrian crisis that has been going on for more than a decade, in addition to the need to implement the March 10 agreement, and to guarantee the rights of all Syrian components, foremost of which are the rights of women.”
David Chubridge expressed his “appreciation for the experience of self-management, especially with regard to the inclusion of women in decision-making positions,” stressing that this experience “deserves support and transfer as a unique democratic model in the region.”
Shobridge stressed his appreciation for the Autonomous Administration’s efforts in maintaining stability and combating terrorism, praising the role of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in confronting ISIS.
