#AceBreakingNews – The two leaders were pressed further about their concerns regarding China’s growing influence in the Pacific.: Reiterating that the region is experiencing “a period of strategic competition”, Mr Albanese says China “is more forward-leaning, it is more aggressive”.
“My position is that we will continue to engage and co-operate — Australia’s position, we will co-operate with China when we can but we will stand up for Australian values when we must.
“When we engage in the region, there aren’t strings attached. We engaged because that is the right thing to do by lifting up the development of our neighbours, we have a responsibility to do that, and the more that we can co-operate on that, the greater the benefit will be,” he added.
Mr Albanese and Ms Ardern were asked about calls from Pacific nations to take further action on climate change, and whether additional cuts to emissions or foreign aid were on the cards.
Mr Albanese says Australia has put forward a $200 million fund for infrastructure investment and climate change, “on top of the $525 million of additional support for development assistance in the Pacific”.
“Some of that will also have implications for acting on climate change because part of development assistance is assisting our Pacific island friends to transition, to have access to energy which is clean, which is sustainable, for them as well.
“I believe that our changed position will be very much welcomed in the Pacific.”
Ms Ardern says New Zealand will continue to support its neighbours “for predominantly mitigation, but where they seek it, adaptation”.
“We have had a bit of a head start having been in government for a few years, but we want to continue to up our game in the region and that’s what the Pacific are looking for.”
