Prime Minister Jotham Napat is currently in Australia leading a delegation for high-level talks with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, as both governments move to finalise the updated agreement following its approval by Vanuatu’s Council of Ministers.

The official meeting scheduled for midday today follows a series of earlier negotiations between the two countries last year, reflecting continued efforts to strengthen bilateral cooperation through the revised framework.

The meeting is expected to formalise the agreement and reinforce ongoing diplomatic and development ties between Port Vila and Canberra.
