The Australian Federal Police (AFP) will significantly boost its commitment to a security initiative in the Pacific region amid the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) growing efforts to expand its police presence in the area.

Following a recent agreement with Papua New Guinea to provide policing support for the country, the AFP has announced a major expansion of its Pacific Policing Development and Coordination Hub in Pinkenba, Brisbane.
