The editor of Vanuatu Daily Post's Dan McGarry said it will be the first time an Australian leader will visit exclusively for a bilateral meeting with their Vanuatu counterpart.
Bob Hawke visited in 1990 for a Pacific Islands Forum leaders summit.
Mr Morrison is scheduled to spend Wednesday and Thursday in Port Vila before leaving for Fiji in what's seen as a push to stem China's growing influence in the region.
The visit, said Dan McGarry, is a necessary step in bringing the two nations closer together.
