Australian ambassadors posted in embassies overseas are being recalled to Canberra later this month for an unprecedented foreign policy meeting.


The nation's ambassadors, high commissioners and consul-generals will travel to Canberra for an unprecedented summit.

 

More than 100 ambassadors and high commissioners will spend two days working with the prime minister, and other senior government figures, to help formulate a new Foreign Policy White Paper.

 

The meeting is expected to cost around $1 million.

But Ms Bishop says the government isn't spending any new money -- some smaller, regional meetings around the world have been cancelled to help pay for the Canberra talks.
