Australia Forms New Pacific Alliance with Fiji | Adelaide News

Australia just sealed a major defense pact with Fiji, calling it the Ocean of Peace — making Fiji the fourth key ally in the Pacific alongside the US, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea. Prime Minister Albanese, in a powerful cultural gesture, joined a traditional kava ceremony before signing, underscoring the deep people-to-people ties that fuel this strategic move. The alliance is part of Australia’s broader push to counter China’s growing regional influence while promoting stability and cooperation.
