Answer

We have not had any formal engagments on cable infrastructure with Pacific counterparts. Officials routinely engage with Pacific counterparts on the strategic infrastructure issues including cables. It is not possible to collate a comprehensive list of these engagements within the timeframes for written parliamentary questions.
