Australia and Vanuatu have signed a 500 million dollar strategic agreement - the first ever inked between the two countries. It positions Australia as the Pacific country's security partner of choice, but it's a weaker treaty than the Australian prime minister originally hoped for. China has expressed concern the deal targets China, warning Australia against playing "geopolitical games".
