Australia is financing the development of two datacenters in Vanuatu, part of a A$500 million ($330 million) commitment under the new 'Nakamal Agreement'. This initiative is aimed at strengthening Vanuatu's digital economy and enhancing its connectivity within the global digital landscape. The agreement follows a renegotiation of a previous security pact that aligned Vanuatu more closely with Australia's interests, especially in the context of countering China's growing influence in the Pacific region. The strategic importance of technological infrastructure in diplomatic relations is thus underscored.
Australia has committed A$500 million ($330 million) to fund projects in Vanuatu, including two datacenters valued at A$120 million ($79 million), aiming to enhance its digital economy.
