Pacific foreign ministers met to discuss a regional security treaty proposed by the Solomon Islands. The meeting was prompted by a recent Chinese missile test that sparked concern among Pacific nations. The meeting's focus shifted to the missile test after New Zealand pushed for a joint statement condemning the test. However, Pacific nations failed to reach an agreement on the statement.

China's Global Times framed the disagreement as a result of growing Pacific Islands autonomy. The Solomon Islands' proposal for a regional security treaty remains on the table. The treaty aims to address security concerns in the Pacific region. Tuvalu expressed fear of a tsunami from the missile test.

The test has shaken the Pacific islands' anti-nuclear unity, according to Nikkei Asia. The current state of the regional security treaty and the response to the missile test is uncertain.
