Fiji leader to spruik security, unity to Australia
The security and strengthening of the regional unity in the Pacific will be on the agenda when Australian Prime Minister Fiji meets his colleague.
Sitiveni Rabuka will appeal to the National Press Club in Canberra on Wednesday after it was met by the General Governor Sam Mostyn on Tuesday afternoon.
Later in the week, Mr. Rabuka and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will participate in the Wallabies-Fiji test in Newcastle to watch the two national teams’ conflict for Vuvale Bowl in a statement of cultural bonds shared through Rugby.
The Prime Minister of Fiji, an important regional ally of his country Australia, had previously defended the Pacific’s “Ocean of Peace”.
This includes the adoption of basic ethics and principles for “Pacific Regionalism” and summarizes the increasing strategic competition between China and the United States as well as climate protection themes.
Blake Johnson, a senior analyst at the Pacific Center of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, said that Mr. Rabuka would probably want to give detailed information on the proposal on his television address.
“He’s trying to unite the Pacific to push back the Pacific against some competitions.” He said.
“Focus on looking at the oceans and getting a more unified approach to look at the oceans and to support the US and Australia and others to support climate change adaptation projects.”
Johnson said that the concept was forced to solve the security difficulties of the region for a harmonious approach from the Pacific.
“This is something that Australia has healed for the last 12 months,” he said.
“Most of its different initiatives are trying to support a pacific -oriented security solution that does not include all this additional support from Beijing or the United States.”
Johnson, the Pacific leader’s visit to Australia, Canberra’nın support for the bilateral relationship is an opportunity for Spruik, he added.
“Australia’s security depends on the security of our surrounding area,” he said.
“Pacific Island can sometimes be unrest in countries, and if this is shed, it creates an unstable zone around Australia and is not good for our general security.”
