Unlike the first version, Australia won’t have veto power over infrastructure projects but will still be consulted — and its financial commitments remain intact with a more flexible spending timeline. Vanuatu’s sovereignty remains paramount, with no foreign military bases allowed and China’s influence carefully managed. Australia will lead on police training, cyber security, and renewable energy, while also helping tackle workforce shortages. A new Nakamal committee will meet twice yearly to resolve disputes — all aimed at deepening regional stability and ensuring Vanuatu’s development stays firmly in Australian and Pacific-aligned hands.
