Australia and Vanuatu share a deep and longstanding partnership that extends from before Vanuatu’s Independence to today. We share a region, we share an ocean, and we share a future. Our Governments and communities work together every day to make that future more peaceful, prosperous and resilient. Our partnership is underpinned by close friendships and family ties: from our shared Melanesian cultural links to the bonds between scholars, athletes, seasonal workers, tourists, officials, community leaders and volunteers that have formed from decades of close cooperation and exchange. |
