The agreement allows up to 280 Tuvalu citizens to reside, work, and study in Australia. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the deal "ground-breaking," while Tuvalu's Prime Minister Kausea Natano called it "a beacon of hope." This marks the first time Australia has extended residency to foreign nationals due to the impact of climate change.
