There remains a risk of further attacks and escalation. If strikes occur in your location follow local warning systems and, if warned of an imminent attack, move to an enclosed hardened shelter. Prioritise your safety, monitor events and follow local advice. (2/3)

Congratulations to Tonga on ratifying the CTBT. This marks an important milestone for our region, with all countries in the Pacific now party to the Treaty. Australia looks forward to working with Tonga to strengthen the global ban on nuclear test explosions.

A privilege to join @AlboMP and Prime Minister Wale in Honiara to celebrate Solomon Islands’ 48th Independence Day. It was made even more special to mark the day by meeting the youngest Solomon Islanders as we opened the Australian-supported Naha Birthing and Urban Health Centre.

Happy Independence Day, Solomon Islands. Democracy and sovereignty in the Pacific matters for Australia. As the first country to recognise the Solomon Islands, Australia has been there since day one. Congratulations on 48 years and many more to come.

Australia and Solomon Islands are stepping up our partnership. Prime Minister Wale and I have agreed to negotiate a new comprehensive treaty. And we're backing it up with real support now, helping rebuild after Cyclone Maila and giving more young people the chance to study.

Australia and Fiji are Vuvale - family - and now we are allies. Today, Prime Minister Albanese and Prime Minister Rabuka signed two major upgrades to our relationship - the Vuvale Union and the Ocean of Peace Alliance. It is an honour to be here in Suva on this historic day.

Together they represent one of the most important endeavours Australia has ever undertaken with any country. They are a testament to the visionary leadership of PM Rabuka & PM Albanese. It’s all part of our shared work to ensure the future of the Pacific is shaped by the Pacific.

Australia will continue to strengthen our relationships by listening, respecting and acting on Pacific priorities in the Pacific way. A stronger, safer and sovereign Pacific is good for Australia and for our region.
