The first line here seems a bit outdated to me; I presume relations with Vietnam and Cuba are mentioned because of their (still) Communist status, but why is Russia included?

It doesn't need to be there

[edit] Vanuatu, West Papua, anticolonialism and enough One China

It would be nice if the article mentioned (at least) the Vanuatu's pattern of support for anti-colonialist struggles and indigenous rights. The government has consistently supported OPM against Indonesia. OPM has an office in Vila, its only foreign representation in the Pacific, as far as I know. I think it took a similar stand on Timor. This is linked to the independence movement's role in founding the Vanuatu state (also barely mentioned in the main article).

It would also be nice if the minor flap over the recognition of Taiwan were reduced in proportion to the overall article. All in all, it was resolved in a few weeks, right?

Add content if you think it is notable, not because you think it would be "nice" Kransky 10:52, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Diplomatic missions of Vanuatu

Oppose merger of this article with Foreign relations of Vanuatu. There are two types of articles and they are used for all countries. No reason to change this for Vanuatu. Kransky 10:52, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Why was a Diplomatic Trade Mission of Vanuatu removed by Kransky???

For your information, I live 1 kilometer from this mission. Please check my IP.

Hi there. We do not include trade offices, honorary consulates and the like in these articles. Otherwise for many countries the number of consulates would be excessive and very difficult to maintain. You are probably referring to the Vanuatu honorary consulate

on 2181 Paraiso Street. Kransky
