flag Australia pushes for Pacific intelligence alliance with neighbors to counter China and security threats.

flag Australia is being urged to launch a Pacific intelligence-sharing alliance, modeled after the Five Eyes, with New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and other island nations to counter growing security threats like illegal fishing, cyberattacks, and Chinese influence. flag A Lowy Institute report warns current efforts are fragmented, leaving the region vulnerable to geopolitical coercion, especially after China’s security pact with the Solomon Islands. flag The proposed alliance would enhance coordination on maritime surveillance, disaster response, and threat assessments, with Australia already strengthening ties through defense deals with Nauru and PNG. flag Experts recommend a phased, trust-building approach to expand cooperation without escalating tensions.
