‘Peacekeeping mission, ipapadala ng Australia, Fiji sa Middle East’

Napagdesisyunan ng Australia at Fiji na magpadala ng joint United Nations peacekeeping mission sa pinagtatalunang rehiyon sa Middle East.

“They’re going to be going there next week. Our Australians are going over there, training them, supporting them,” pagkumpirma ni Australian Prime Scott Morrison sa ikalawang pagbisita nito sa Fiji at ikatlong official meeting kasama si Fijian Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama.

Iginiit naman ng Australian defense ministry na walang kauganayan ang naturang co-deployemnt sa kasalukuyang nangyayari sa North-Eastern Syria.

Kung matatandaan, inutos ni US President Donad Trump na pabalikin ng Estados Unidos ang U.S. troops na pinadala sa Syria.

“We are living in a world of transition where shifting of power dynamics is taking place,” dagdag pa ni Morrison.

“Which means our friendship and partnership with countries like Fiji, in our own backyard, is even more important.”

Ngayong taon din nang magkaroon nang kasunduan sa pagitan ng Australia at Fijian government sa plano nitong pag-upgrade ng Blackrock police at peacekeeper training camp.

“This engagement here, particularly with Fiji, but also with so many nations around the Pacific, and particularly that security engagement that we’re having here, is all about keeping the whole region safe and stable, and secure,”
