The Soviet Union and Vanuatu established official diplomatic relations on 30 June 1986, three months to the day before Vanuatu established diplomatic relations with the United States.
History
Vanuatu, which became independent from
Eastern bloc; Lini was not a Marxist
, and there was no Communist Party in Vanuatu.
In 1987, Vanuatu authorized Soviet vessels to fish within Vanuatu's
Exclusive Economic Zone
, in exchange for economic aid. The agreement lapsed the following year and was not renewed, due to disagreements over the price to be paid for fishing rights by the USSR.
The year 1991 was marked both by the end of Lini's last term in office and by the collapse of the Soviet Union. Thereafter, relations between
Port-Vila and Moscow
were virtually non-existent.
