Prime Minister Anthony Albanese continues his diplomatic push through the Pacific

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has set an ambitious timeline for a comprehensive new treaty with the Solomon Islands, saying he'd like to see it completed by the end of this year. It's part of a diplomatic push across the region, following landmark deals with Fiji, PNG, Vanuatu and Indonesia. This comes amid rising concern over China's role in the region - underscored this week by military drills.
