A high profile delegation from Vanuatu will touch down in Australia to discuss tackling climate change and advancing trade between the two nations.
Vanuatu Prime Minister Alatoi Ishmael Kalsakau will embark on a three day tour, in what will be the first official visit from the nation's head since 2018.
Mr Kalsakau will be joined by his trade and business minister as well as his agriculture minister.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the visit will give the government the opportunity to listen to Vanuatu's priorities and strengthen co-operation in trade, security and climate.
"Australia and Vanuatu have a strong relationship and a shared commitment to work with our Pacific family to secure the best outcomes for the region," he said.
Mr Kalsakau was sworn in at the start of November after a snap election was called following political turmoil.
A group of government lawmakers had sided with the opposition in a bid to remove then prime minister Bob Loughman before the president dissolved parliament.
Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong visited the Pacific nation in December, leading a bipartisan delegation of parliamentarians.
She said the two nations were committed to democracy amid concerns of China's growing aggression in the region.
