Australia to help fund two data centers in Vanuatu island
In a move to bolster its security ties with Vanuatu, a Pacific Island nation, Australia is set to provide AU$120 million (US$79 million) for the development of two data centres in the capital of Port Vila and on the island of Santo. This funding is part of a broader “Nakamal Agreement” between the two countries, under which Australia will invest a total of AU$500 million (US$330 million) in various projects over the next decade.
The data centre initiative aims to strengthen Vanuatu’s digital infrastructure and connectivity, following the country’s recent rollout of 5G coverage. The agreement also covers areas such as climate resilience, key infrastructure, security support, and economic development. This investment comes as Australia seeks to solidify its position as a security partner for Vanuatu, following a previous agreement that was scrapped in 2022. The move is seen as a response to China’s efforts to court the island nation.
