Australia, Tuvalu strike new security deal that eases the tiny nation’s sovereignty concerns
Australia and Tuvalu have signed a revised security agreement aimed at strengthening cooperation after concerns that an earlier pact gave Canberra too much control over Tuvalu’s dealings with third countries, including China. Tuvalu’s Prime Minister Feleti Teo said the treaty offers a “unique” security guarantee and reassures both sides on crisis coordination and interoperability.
The deal follows last year’s landmark agreement, which gives Australia the right to initially resettle up to 280 Tuvaluans a year and support the island nation during natural disasters, pandemics and military aggression. Australia also announced more than A$110 million in new investment for Tuvalu’s priority projects, including A$50 million for the country’s first undersea telecommunications cable.

Australia PM to travel to Malaysia, Brunei for fuel talks
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will visit Brunei and Malaysia from 14 to 17 April to discuss energy and food security, as Canberra seeks to secure fuel and fertiliser supplies amid a surge in global energy prices caused by the Middle East war. He will meet Brunei’s Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim during the trip.
Australia relies heavily on Asia for refined fuel and fertiliser, while Malaysia is its third-largest source of refined fuel and Australia supplies most of Malaysia’s imported LNG. Authorities say Australia’s fuel supply remains steady, with tanker shipments en route and a public campaign underway to encourage lower petrol use.
