We were honoured to join The Prince Regent, HRH Crown Prince Tupouto’a ‘Ulukalala, to mark the completion of Tuʻi Vavaʻu, Tonga’s second international undersea cable in Vava’u. The cable will strengthen communications, boost the economy and keep people and communities connected.

Tonga and Australia’s friendship, built and strengthened across generations. #KaumeOfi

As part of our expanding cyber partnership - and after months of hard work by our agencies - Tonga, Australia and New Zealand have released a joint advisory about those responsible for the June 2025 ransomware attack on the Tongan Ministry of Health.

Pacific leaders have declared our region an 'Ocean of Peace'. As a family, we step up to help each other and achieve our goals. Tonga's views are important, and it was great to hear from Deputy Secretary Vea during her visit to Australia last week.

We joined HM King Tupou VI, HRH Crown Prince & Asst Defence Minister @PeterKhalilMP to commission VOEA Late 🇹🇴🇦🇺 — Tonga’s largest naval vessel. VOEA Late boosts Tonga’s sovereignty, regional security, and disaster response. “Kaume’a Ofi is more than mateship — we're family.”💙🌏

2/ Kaume‘a Ofi - “close friends” - captures the warmth, trust & respect shaping Tonga–Australia ties for 200+ years. The agreement will be grounded in history, built on our collective strength, and look to a peaceful and prosperous Blue Pacific for our future generations.

Together, we celebrate a new chapter in our 200-year story. Their Majesties met our Governor-General, HE Sam Mostyn AC. Side by side, they witnessed the signing of a Statement of Intent to elevate the Tonga–Australia partnership through the 'Kaume'a Ofi' agreement 🇹🇴🇦🇺

As our leaders meet in the Solomon Islands for the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting, we warmly congratulate the Government of Tonga on a remarkable year as PIF Chair. Tonga’s leadership and hosting has made us a stronger Pacific family. Mālō ‘aupito.
