💡 Imagined Endstate:
A future where the Pacific remains sovereign—where no foreign military bases disrupt regional harmony, and Pacific Island leaders guide shared prosperity in calm, self-determined waters.

Fiji's Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka, spoke with clarity at the National Press Club—insisting that Chinese military bases are unwelcome in Pacific waters🤝. Notably, he pointed out that China has the capability to project power without establishing regional outposts like bases, citing ballistic missile tests as evidence🏝️🛡️.
This stance is more than political; it reflects a broader push for regional agency, among Pacific Island leaders who strive to remain “friendly to all, and enemies to none,” navigating amid geopolitical adventurism from larger powers📜.
In a region marked by fragile coastlines, cultural sovereignty, and multilateral relationships, Rabuka’s message signals a rejection of militarization and a call for Pacific-led peace and self-reliance🌐. Negotiating an “Ocean of Peace” and strengthening ties with trusted partners like Australia are tangible steps toward protecting the Pacific’s aspirations for stability, diplomacy, and lasting autonomy🎙️.
