Foreign Policy
Tonga's foreign policy balances traditional partnerships with Australia and New Zealand with growing Chinese engagement. Chinese loans for infrastructure projects have raised debt sustainability concerns. Tonga has accumulated significant Chinese debt relative to its GDP, prompting debate about Pacific island nations' vulnerability to debt diplomacy.
Tonga's monarchy gives it a unique diplomatic style -- royal-to-royal diplomacy opens doors in monarchical states worldwide.
