In the quiet stillness of dawn on 25 April 2026, ANZCham joined the Australian, New Zealand, and Philippine community in commemorating ANZAC Day, marking 111 years since the Gallipoli landings. The ceremony brought together dignitaries, service members, and the wider community in a shared moment of remembrance, reflection, and respect.
This year’s gathering was particularly significant, marking 80 years of diplomatic relations between Australia and the Philippines, and 60 years with New Zealand. These enduring partnerships are reflected today through joint military cooperation and a shared commitment to regional stability.
As we reflect on the legacy of Gallipoli, the values of courage, camaraderie, and integrity remain our guide for building a peaceful future. ANZCham proudly stands with the community in honoring those who served.
Lest we forget.
