Pacific leaders planning to fly together to Queen’s funeral
Australia Shuttle Diplomacy invites Pacific leaders to Queen’s funeral. The funeral of China’s Queen Elizabeth II is not to be overlooked as Australia and New Zealand do gentle diplomacy to bring Pacific leaders to London for a historic event.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said logistics between government departments, the Australian Air Force, and Pacific nations were still in the final stages of a plan that would allow the leaders to fly together to Britain.
“In some circumstances, if that is possible, it will be necessary for Australia to travel to their nations to pick up people. At the level of Heads of Government and also the degree of support from the Governor-General, “said Mr. Albanese.

The Royal Australian Air Force, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet are resolving such concerns jointly.
We want to make sure that no country in our area, the Pacific, as a member of the Pacific family, is prevented from attending the Queen Elizabeth memorial service due to logistical issues.
Further information on the assistance being given to Pacific leaders will be delivered on Tuesday, according to Mr. Albanese, who has been in contact with his New Zealand counterpart Jacinda Ardern over travel arrangements.
“I’ll be in touch with you again tomorrow with more information. Of course, we’ve only been going for a short while. In other situations, relatively little island nations that require assistance are the ones we’re referring to “he said.
