Abstract

Australia has signed a confidential security agreement with Papua New Guinea, aiming to counter China's increasing presence in the Pacific region. The deal includes Papua New Guinea entering a team in Australia's National Rugby League from 2028, with a budget of A$600 million over 10 years. The agreement underscores Australia's commitment to being Papua New Guinea's security partner of choice, as both countries emphasize the importance of a safe and peaceful Pacific region for all. This move follows similar security pacts with Nauru and Tuvalu, highlighting Australia's efforts to strengthen its strategic influence in the Pacific amid competition with China.
