Beijing was widely criticised internationally over the missile test, with a number of Pacific Island nations adopting a stronger public stance against their key economic partner than usually taken. Palau, which is hosting the Pacific Islands Forum in September, the Marshall Islands and New Zealand are the only other regional signatories. "Conducting nuclear-capable ballistic missile tests without sufficient advance notice and detail is dangerous and disrupts the peace and security of relevant nations in proximity to these tests. This requirement applied "particularly" to nuclear-weapon states and notifications should include information about the "generic class of the ballistic missile or SLV (submarine-launched ballistic missiles), the planned launch notification window, the launch area, and the planned direction". Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong were in Suva when the missile test occurred in early July.
