Pacific Island nations endorsed Australia's Pacific Policing Plan aiming to limit China's security role and create a regional response force.

Pacific Island nations have endorsed Australia's Pacific Policing Plan, aimed at limiting China's security role in the region. The plan involves the creation of up to four regional police training centers, establishing a multinational crisis reaction force, and deploying a Pacific Police Support Group during natural disasters and other emergencies. The initiative aims to create a police support group, a policing development and coordination hub in Brisbane, and deploy the Pacific Police Support Group during natural disasters and other emergencies. While some Pacific leaders have expressed concerns about the plan being perceived as anti-China, they emphasize the importance of ensuring the agreement benefits the countries adopting it and fits their purposes rather than the geopolitical interests of their partners.
