Rugby league diplomacy as PM hosts Pacific leaders
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is hosting Pacific leaders from Tonga, Samoa and Papua New Guinea at the State of Origin rugby league match in Brisbane as part of diplomatic efforts to strengthen regional defence ties. The meeting comes as new defence treaties are being pushed with Samoa and Tonga, the Pukpuk defence alliance with Papua New Guinea comes into force, and China test-fired a JL-2 missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads into the South Pacific.
