The Australian Federal Police said it had sent 100 officers to the Solomon Islands on Wednesday to boost security for the Pacific Games which starts next week. The deployment of more Australian police to the Pacific Islands nation, which struck a policing deal with China this year, comes as Australia seeks to remain its primary security partner. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese arrived in the Cook Islands on Wednesday to attend a meeting of the region's 18-member bloc, the Pacific Islands Forum, amid security tensions between the United States and China.
