Australia and Tuvalu are working together as we bring the Falepili Union to life.

Our joint statement and explanatory memorandum outline our shared vision of peace, security and sovereignty.

I met Tuvalu’s cabinet to reiterate our support for Tuvalu and to plan next steps.

Australia has been clear about our objections to a major Israeli ground offensive into Rafah, and we have reiterated this to Israel again today.

Today I hosted Latin American Heads of Mission with Tim Watts MP in Canberra.

Our economic and community ties continue to grow.

Australia and Latin American countries prioritise the rules-based international system.

Together we are advancing First Nations and gender equality.

Congratulations to Jeremiah Manele, the new Prime Minister of Solomon Islands.

He has always served his country proudly, and to be elected leader is a great honour.

As Ministers we shared a focus on boosting economic and security ties and I look forward to building on this.
