Australia and Vanuatu’s security is intertwined and we are committed to enhancing the peace, prosperity, resilience and safety of our region.
Today Prime Minister Kalsakau and I signed a Bilateral Security Agreement, cementing our cooperation across a broad range of areas.
There is no better demonstration of the cooperation between our two countries than the refurbishment of RVS Mala Base Wharf, which was formally handed over today, along with police boat RVS Mataweli.
Australia is proud to be Vanuatu’s principal security partner of choice.
