Summary
Anthony Albanese is set to travel to Fiji on Monday to sign the new “Vuvale Union” with his Fijian counterpart, according to The Australian.
The pact could approach the level of Australia’s mutual-defense treaty with Papua New Guinea, which is due to take effect this week.
Australia is also nearing completion of a uranium export deal with India during the same round of meetings, extending the week’s agenda beyond Pacific security.
The report points to Canberra pursuing parallel strategic and energy ties in the Pacific and with India through back-to-back agreements.
