Australia pledges $40m for Tuvalu during PM Feleti Teo’s visit Australia will provide up to $40m in aviation and connectivity support to Tuvalu as the two nations progress a security pact, AAP reports. Prime minister Feleti Teo will meet with prime minister Anthony Albanese after meeting with foreign minister Penny Wong and pacific minister Pat Conroy yesterday. He will also meet with opposition foreign affairs spokesman Simon Birmingham during his Australian trip this week.

Australia provides the Pacific nation a defence guarantee under the Falepili Union treaty but it sparked controversy with concerns about Tuvalu’s sovereignty, as Canberra was given oversight of their security arrangements.
