The Prime Minister says climate change will be one of the main topic of discussion with the Australian Prime Minister.

“Yes of course, yes will have a bilateral on the Monday”

Bainimarama’s meeting with Morrison will be interesting given the outcome of the recent Pacific Islands Forum meeting in Tuvalu earlier this month.
