We are committed to continuing cooperation. Security and stability in our region are vitally important. The Turnbull government is focused on identifying a range of new measures to increase the integration into the Pacific. Among our security measures, we signed new security MOUs with a number of countries. This follows on from the post-RAMSI security agreement that we have with the Solomon Islands. We have new MOUs with different countries in relation to pharmaceutical laboratory testing. These initiatives bolster the measures to address common security challenges and further integrate our Pacific economies—and of course, build up that very important resilience in the Pacific, in helping them.

Can I conclude by congratulating the Samoan government and, especially, the Samoan police force for the absolutely fantastic display they put on. (Time expired)
