Pacific Defence Ministers Escalate Militarisation Across the Region
The 10th annual South Pacific Defence Ministers' Meeting (SPDMM) was held in Viña del Mar, Chile, from October 22-24, amidst escalating imperialist war drive across the region, led by the United States, aimed against China.
Defence Ministers or their representatives from Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea (PNG), Fiji, and Tonga attended, along with observers from Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Baron Waqa, Secretary General of the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF), also attended.
The SPDMM declares it is "the premier defence ministerial dialogue in the South Pacific, enhancing cooperation and driving Pacific-led responses to shared regional security challenges."
The summit's agenda focused on developing "operational collaboration" between Pacific militaries to face "new trends in security challenges," targeting China.
