Summary
Australia and Vanuatu signed the Nakamal Agreement, a bilateral security and economic treaty that prevents China from establishing a military base in Vanuatu. The deal was signed by Prime Ministers Anthony Albanese and Jotham Napat in Canberra, nine months after Vanuatu rejected an earlier draft due to concerns it would limit infrastructure investment. The treaty reaffirms Australia's role as Vanuatu's largest security and economic partner in the South Pacific region.
