## Resource

Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is ramping up regional diplomacy, sealing a new defense pact with Fiji to counter China’s expanding Pacific influence, while hosting PNG and Tongan leaders at a State of Origin game in Brisbane — blending sports with serious security talks. Amid rising tensions, China’s recent long-range missile test in the South Pacific has drawn a firm response from Australia’s Foreign Minister, Penny Wong, who warns such moves destabilize the region. This high-stakes maneuvering underscores Australia’s urgent push to build a united, resilient Pacific front in an increasingly volatile geopolitical landscape.
