Résumé en FR : l’Australie en discussion avec les Philippines pour qu’elles accueillent des demandeurs d’asile actuellement retenus dans des îles du Pacifique, annonce le ministre de l’Immigration Peter Dutton. Un plan similaire avec le Cambodge a cafouillé (quatre personnes seulement déplacées depuis l’an dernier). Des discussions sont en cours avec d’autres pays depuis des mois. Il ajoute que la ministre de l’Extérieur Julie Bishop a profité de la dernière AG de l’ONU pour cela. Selon le journal australien qui a rapporté ces dires, cela pourrait coûter au pays plus de 100 millions de dollars US.

Australia is in talks with the Philippinesabout the possibility of that country accepting asylum seekers, currently being held on remote Pacific islands, who had tried to reach Australia by boat, the immigration minister said on Friday.
A similar plan to resettle asylum seekers in Cambodia has faltered, with just four having moved there since the country reached a similar agreement with Australia last year.
╲We have had bilateral discussions with other countries including the Philippines at an official level, at a ministerial level, over a number of months,╡ Peter Dutton, Australiaâ•˙s immigration minister, told reporters. He said the foreign minister, Julie Bishop, had discussed the matter with other officials while at the United Nations General Assembly in New York recently.
Mr. Dutton declined to provide details of the possible plan. The Australian newspaper, which earlier reported newsof the discussions, said it could cost Australia more than 150 million Australian dollars, or $108 million, citing unidentified government officials
