Thanks to PNG Deputy PM Rosso for opening and PNG for hosting the 7th annual Joint Heads of Security meeting this week, bringing together Pacific security leaders to enhance cooperation. As PNG PM Marape says, a secure Pacific is in everyone’s interests.

Australia is proud to support women’s rugby in the Pacific. We had the pleasure of hosting Samoa’s ManuSina SWR and Wallaroos before they went head-to-head in a hard-fought match on the weekend. Best of luck at the Rugby World Cup later this year!

Fiji's PM @slrambuka set out a compelling vision for an Ocean of Peace today at the National Press Club. Pacific Security College Prof Peebles supports this vision everyday.

At Garma Festival we hosted Pacific leaders from Fiji, Kiribati, Palau, Tuvalu and PNG to celebrate our shared cultural heritage and connection to land and sea. This is our First Nations foreign policy in action: sharing stories, traditional knowledge and customs on country.
