Australia enjoys a close relationship with Vanuatu. I look forward to working with Prime Minister Charlot Salwai Tabimasmas to reinforce Australia as Vanuatu’s economic, development and security partner of choice.
In Fiji, Prime Minister Josaia Voreqe Bainimarama and I will elevate the bilateral relationship between Australia and Fiji to a new level. We will deepen our economic and security cooperation, strengthen our people-to-people links and work together to respond to shared regional challenges.
I am committed to stepping up Australia’s engagement in the Pacific to support a stable and prosperous region.
I look forward to working closely together with my friends and partners in Vanuatu and Fiji to build strong bilateral relationships for the future.
